RE: Is anyone else addicted to this stuff
No I'm not addicted.[8D] Try telling my wife that. 
She says if I'm not addicted why is my bowhunting bill up to ~$2600 so far this year. I try to rationalize it by saying that I did get a new bow that I have about $1200 in. That was not a good rationalization. And the other kicker is, I haven't even paid for a lease this year yet. [
]
All my buddies that I hunt with say that I could open my own shop and still not be lacking for gear to use.
It's very rare that when they need something that I don't have a spare to lend them. This is only the 2nd year for most of them and I've been doing it for about 20 now.
Man I got a lotta stuff.

Definately addicted. I use to hoard all my money and not spend a dime of it... then i started hunting. This will be my 4th year hunting and I spend every dime I make on hunting. I totaled up my Gander Mountain and Cabelas receipts and in the last two years I have spent just shy of 800 at Cabelas and about 1000 at Gander Mountain. I'm also going to be shelling out another 500 at cabelas on Monday
O yeah add in the 1000 I spent on a bow this year. Keep in mind I'm a high school student and I've made about 4000 in the last two years and spent most of it on hunting.
