I can't be just throwing money at stuff I'm not sure of. I'm just getting started in hunting, and I've had not one hand-me-down. I've dumped a whole bunch of money over the past year on this 'hobby' - buying a rifle, scope, shotgun, calls, camo, ammo, accessories like slings & gear bags, license, gun vise & cleaning kit, and I haven't even picked up a decent set of binoculars, boots, decoys, and who knows what else. And i'm starting to hear it from my wife. I have to make sure I have some money left over for some flowers and jewelry. I don't think she would appreciate me buying her a .22...come to think of it, that adds another thing to my wish-list. Oh, and I don't have a 4x4, either.
