I have been bow hunting 15 years and the last 10 pretty seriously. I spent almost 1000 bucks about 10 years ago on a nice bow and setup. Since then, nothing else except new arrows and new broadheads and a new bow string a few years back. I'd say in 15 years I spent maybe $1500.00 total. My stand and camo and hat and boots have been with me since 1990...I stay away from those scent killers, gimmicks and other MUST HAVES...I was successful before those came on the market and I continue to be successfull without them. I'm also a cheap son of a ^%$#@ too!
