My observation has been that once you start counting the pennies in hunting and shooting, it's all over.
I recommend just start budgeting a certain amount every income period, and just stow some money away year round. Store it on a debit account, and when season comes round, use the card until it's all gone.
I know many people that struggle to find time and money at the same time. A year round monthly shooting budget at least solves one of the problems.
If I lived near a quail plantation, I'd budget for once a week.
