It was $375 for the hunt, and another $140 to have the pig processed.
My wife did a cost analysis and said that pound per pound, it was actually about the same as just going to the butcher and buying a processed pig of the same weight...
The $375 price allows you to hunt on the property where the pigs can get up to 500 lbs.
For $475 you are allowed to hunt on the property where the pigs are from 500 to 1000 lbs.!
So the bigger the pig you shoot, the more cost effective it is.
However, I stopped trying to make my hunting cost effective per lb. of meat years ago. It just never seems to work out!
I would definitely do this hunt again.
