[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 3056809, member: 115081"] One of the sacrifices that I had to make working at that $25 an hour job was hunting and fishing. At that hourly rate I couldn't afford the hunting and fishing trips that I could in the past. The closest thing to a fishing expedition is a party boat out into the bay. I could go hunting on public lands but with a number of people applying for those permits in a lottery makes it nearly impossible to win a tag. So I have a safe full of hunting rifles and shotguns that I haven't used in a while. After I was professionally employed again I had to play catch up with my retirement and save up as much money as I could which sadly forced me to sacrifice hunting and fishing. I married now and my wife's income which is roughly half of my current salary contributes greatly to what we want to do. My wife's trip back to the Philippines visit family is nearly as expensive as going on a nice hunting trip and sadly we cannot do both. That said I will never deny her the opportunity to visit her family. Additionally we will not go into debt just to be able to do both. Either we can pay cash or we don't go at all. She wants me to go hunting and fishing again and wants to join me but when I explain the hardships that go along with it she'd rather stay home. She likes to sleep in. I do have a membership to a private gun club dues are about $200 a year so I haven't given up sport shooting. Shooting trap and skeet as well as a paper target at 200 yards is never the same as going hunting. [/QUOTE]
