Heh. No matter the per-pound cost, deer and elk are cheep, cheep, cheep compared to those dove-birds.
If I am lucky enough to be lying peacefully on my death bed surrounded by my loving family and friends my thoughts will surely be on the things I did, not the amount of money I have made or spent. I don't remember the cost of my many big game hunts, or the steelhead fishing or snowshoeing a trapline or piloting a Pacific City dory from Depoe Bay Oregon up the coast to the Columbia River and across the bar into Astoria....Or the beautiful women in my life or the feeling of riding a big street bike over thousands of miles of highway or playing a guitar for thousands of people in the audience...
How can people reduce their lives to dollars and cents? Makes no sense.
If it is 1/2 mile square and you only paid for 160 acres you got a heck of a good deal. An extra 160 for free!
A square mile is 640 acres, so indeed 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile is 160 acres.
640 is one square mile 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile is 1/4 of a square mile=160 acres. His math is correct.
But finding a deer rifle and load that 11 year old girls can manage well is ....tricky.
I believe I said curious as> to the cost. Never have I ever worried >about the cost. _If your worried about cost per LBS for hunted game you may have the wrong hobby

Don't sweat it. Women and race cars are a helluva lot more expensive. '.
