the least you'll come to find out is to forget about the cost of it all. You have to look at it from the long haul. Every season you hunt after spending what seems like a ridiculous amount will reduce the cost per deer. And you can't look at some of the stuff you'll buy as a waste even though it is, it's the education of it all you have to keep in mind. Once you've learned you can be more selective in what you buy.

I have a climber others would be hard pressed to match, yet it's made up of at least 2 different ones. Took trying things out to get it there.

I haven't had a deer bust me in a long time, that takes some doing and a lot of it was gained in the education of it all. When you think about it, the cost of this kind of education is a good deal and every year after just gravy.

Your education, what's that worth to you to be able to walk into anywhere and be successful? Answer that after hunting a season. If your like most them deer will edumacate you real good. Go get'm
