Have we gotten out of control?!?!
I was in BassPro the other day and I saw something that made me shake my head. There was a guy in there buying and entire outfit for hunting. I caught some of it and i couldn't believe what i was hearing.
[ul][*]Gore-Tex, Sent-Lock, Mossy Oak jacket, Price $350[*]Gore-Tex, Scent-Lock, Mossy Oak bibs, $250[*]Matching UnderArmour Top, $50[*]Matching UnderArmour Bottoms, $50[*]Gore-tex gloves, $40 a pair[*]Scent-Lock,Gore-tex Boots with thinsilate, $250[*]Brand New T/C icon Rifle with a Leupold VX-7 Scope (probably a nearly $2500 rig, right?)[*]and the list goes on, The lady at the register told a total of something like $4200.[/ul]
The question is, whats the deal with a $4000 dolar bill to go hunt deer. I hunted out of Hand-me down stuff for quite a while. I just got my girlfriend all the gear she is going to need, (except the rifle, i didn't have to buy that, had plenty to choose from.) With just a little of shoping around, we got a jacket and bibs for $60. And her boots were $50.
I might just be carrying on here, but do others see the same thing here. I mean why do you need to pay $100 for a set of fancy 'long-johns' and, why are the camo. Do deer have x-ray vision now a days?
