    Here in the states it is quite inexpensive because many people can simply go to public use areas and hunt. You are in an unfortunate situation because to my knowledge there is no public use land in Europe, certainly not in England. It can be done though. The absolute cheapest hunt you could do in my opinion would be in the states. I think a good place to start might be here at Home (European Bowhunting Federation) this is a good resource for everything about european bowhunting. France and Spain have some good opportunities for bowhunters though if I'm not mistake. If that doesn't turn something up then you should probably start planning a trip to the US or to New Zealand. Hope this helps.

    What @victoryhunter said! Your hunts are basically restricted to rabbits up there. Depends if you want to hunt just anything, or you're wanting to make this an unforgettable memory. I have some great South African hunt packages available for October 2016 if you're interested? Let me know.

    Hey there @thenuge you might want to hear this. I just happened upon a field and stream article, and I thought of you and your question. The article is about exploding populations of deer and boars destroying vineyards in Tuscany, Italy. If you're looking for a hunting trip near home, I think that could be your best bet. There are probably no public lands or outfitters, but if I were you I would look into this. Contact some of the vineyards, you may find one receptive to someone looking for game to pursue. The article title is: "Deer, Wild Boars Wreaking Havoc on Tuscan Vineyards" on Field and Stream.com. Best of Luck!
