RE: New hunters and affordable gear
When I got married many moons back I desperately wanted to continue hunting but it was difficult to do so with only the regular paychecks. I decided to cut lawns to make extra money. One yard, then another and another and............... Before I knew it I was working 40-50 hrs at my regular job, cutting 25-30 yards a week and going to college full time. The first gun I bought was an A-bolt composite stalker in .280 and mounted a Leupy 4.5-14x50 AO just prior to the birth of my first son. I have had several guns come and go since then but will never part with my trusty A-bolt as I plan on passing it to my son. Hard work and sacrifice are qualities that most of the hunters I know possess. We tend to be passionate about our jobs, families and hobbies. We work hard so we can play hard.
