"need" is the key word here.

Want, desire, enjoy, yes yes yes.

Need, no.

I don't need allot of things though. But I still enjoy them!

Articles and TV shows have fueled many senseless purchases. I myself read an article in an old Pennsylvania Game News magazine on the Savage 99 in .300 Savage when I was young. Desired one for a long time and bought one in 2013 when I found a good deal. Have shot some doe with it.

Bought another in .375 Winchester last year when Ohio approved the straight walled rifles for deer.

Certainly didn't need either of those. And there are even better options out there. But I was fueled by an article that convinced me that I really wanted (needed) one!
