RE: how much money do we waste
now a real hunter is one who cares about the deer
When in ky i feed there deer 100 pounds a week easy some week 150 or 200 I seen 18 deer in my back yard at one time. Even in the off season i had corn out ORIGINAL: DropTine249 Anymore- I buy only things I need. Stands, spikes and climbing sticks eat up alot of money. In the offseason- keeping 6 feeders loaded isnt cheap, either. However, I never think twice about spending money on something that benefits the wildlife, even if they have plenty of food readily available, already. |

We all spend a lot but getting the goodies is a big part of the fun!!!
I try to keep much of it under the radar from the wife though! |

ORIGINAL: nchawkeye Well...I'm on the other end...I'll be 53 next week...My bow is over 15 years old and I bought it used for $200...It fits me perfectlly because I'm a finger shooter, have no desire to use a release and most of the major manufacturest don't even make a finger bow anymore...So, this year I bought a dozen 2413s and a pack of replacement blades for my Muzzys and Thunderheads, I'm ready to hunt... I gun hunt as well...My .243 is 28 years old...:D |
RE: how much money do we waste
Im 20 minutes from Cabelas and have made more trips than I would like to admit there this year. :D Hunting is what I enjoy the most so I dont really look into what I am spending. I dont go crazy but if there is something I want or actually need I go and get it. This year I cut down on golf and golfing supplies to spend alittle more on my hunting needs. I guess I NEEDED quite a few things. :eek:

Not much anymore. I try to spend only on necessities and save the rest for trips out of state.

One thing thats helped me is getting a Bass Pro Shop credit card. I use it to pay for everything and I pay it off every month. In the last six months I bought a spott hog sight, a bitzenburger jig, Nikon Prostaff 550 rangefinder, a Garmin GPS and a pair of binoculars and I only used about $50 of my own money.

RE: how much money do we waste
I usually don't spend a ton on gear as I'm pretty much set on everything a fellow might need. However, this year was an exception [8D] I'm not able to go out of state this year b/c we just had a baby and didn't want to be gone so I spent that money on gear... I've spent over $1,000 on camo alone [:-]Then again, I hadn't bought much camo in ten years and probably won't for another ten.
I enjoy getting new "stuff".. It's all part of the fun for me. |
