Being new to the sport also the gun is only one part of the gear you will need .
you need camo from head to toe for staters . a comfortble seat/friction call/
locator call/ decoys/ pruners/ thie list goes on and on it' s great .
I can' t think of anything better to spend your money on than hunting gear.
OK maybe taking care of your family and paying bills .
good luck
