I agree with you on some of the costs parts.

A local outfitter was being discussed by some local hunters and they thought he charged A$220 per day (he actually charges a lot more). They thought this was expensive!

Now $220 less GST is $200. Accomodation at the place costs $35 per person so that leaves $130. Say $30 for costs (low) leaves $100 a day.

Would any of these clowns work 15 hour days for $100 a day. No fucking way!

On another board I have read turkeys complaining about having to pay $25 for a printed hunting guide showing names of properties where sometimes hunting can be had for $50. Then they complained about having nowhere to hunt! Also they thought $50 should buy them cooked breakfasts at a Ritz, instead of a dusty outstation with a tin of baked beans (cooked by yourself of course).

I guess it is always cheaper to jump a back fence on the property, cut the head off quickly and run like hell in case someone has heard the shot.
