Show Notes
Hunting has always been about the experience, the tradition, and the love of the outdoors—but somewhere along the way, did the price tag start getting out of hand?
Trey Reed is back on the We Do This Too Outdoors Podcast, and this time we’re getting into a conversation that a lot of hunters are thinking about: Is hunting becoming a rich man’s game?
We break down the rising cost of hunting—from expensive leases and land access to bows, guns, gear, tags, travel, trail cameras, and everything the industry tells us we “need” to be successful. Has social media and hunting culture created an unrealistic picture of what it takes to be a hunter? And are everyday working people slowly getting priced out of something that was never supposed to be about who could spend the most money?
Trey and I keep it raw and talk about the difference between wanting premium gear and actually needing it, remembering why we started hunting in the first place, and whether the next generation will still be able to afford this lifestyle.
This one might step on a few toes—but it’s a conversation worth having.
You don’t need the biggest lease, the newest bow, or $10,000 worth of gear to belong in the woods.
