RE: holy **** thats alot
it only gets worse as you go.....let me be the first to warn you...
initially, it can be costly to aquire the gear etc thats "needed"
but then the "wanting" kicks in....
then the "wanting the best of the best" comes...instead of a 300$ bow you want the 700$ bare bow...instead of the 50$ arrows you want the 150$ arrows....dont worry, you'll see what i mean!
i never add up prices lol....my head might spin....i know if i sold all my guns and hunting gear and bow and all that id have a pile of cash.....even USED!
cant put a price on happiness and enjoyment....
nice thing about hunting is you can go out with bare necessities(weapon and license) and still be successful....believe me..i got a buddy that spends maybe 50$ a year on hunting...thats his license and shells....has more fun than anyone could imagine and always tags a buck...often a nice one for the area....hunts in jeans and chaps and a jacket and some orange...(drive hunter...never seen him sit for a second lol) but he has a blast and kills deer...then keeps pushing all season for everyone else...honestly has a ton of fun...
