We are all guilty of it. Every year we just have to buy this or that for the upcoming deer season, right? Just can't do without it. Gotta have it. It's better. New and improved. Guaranteed.

I look at it this way. I've been killing deer consistently with the same old same old. Ido not need any additional equipment or items to continue. I actually prefer to narrow my list of things needed.

This year I will spend $0.00 except for the necessary licenses, permits and ammo.

I'm talking about equipment and apparatus here. Not gas, lodging, food. Those are necessities. I'm talking fluff here.

I had to put over $400. Yes I have the guns, shells, and alreadypaid forone of my two permits but I have to figure in gas, split the bill on some food, and a few odds and ends. I drive about 250 miles one way so I have to addabout 1000 milescounting first and second seasons. I alone with the other 6 guys that travel from various parts of the state to our friends house always chip in and each give him about $25 each per season, and thats cheap! I envy the guys that can walk out their back door and walk through the woods to their stands.

I can't vote. I always plan to buy a new firearm, bow or larger hunting related purchase such as a stand in addition to other things like some new clothing, hand warmers, bullets, powder, etc... Once I have 3 of everything or taking a dirt nap I will stop.

i want a new lone wolf climber bc its 14.5 lbs and will make my life sooooo much easier. And a new double bull matrix 360 so i can bring the girlfreind hunting with me and dont have to worry about her moving.... plus for spring turkeys.

im gunna have to say up to at least 300. ive already bought probably 100-150 or so

I put $400.00 but realistically it will be prob well over $1,000.00 if I include lease fees, food plots, corn etc etc...

I work hard and I've been lucky. If I need or want it, I'm gonna get it! (If my wife will let me!)

Hmmmm..... $400.00 !!! ... That was blown the first month of 2007...[>:]

Let me see...1st daughter, 2 years out of Applachian State...Married in September on the Outer Banks...

2nd daughter, graduated UNC last Sunday, going to Wake Forest to get her Master's Degree, starts June 4th...

3rd daughter....Going with Mom to Switzerland on a Girl Scout trip in July, turns 16 in December, needs a car....

Nope, don't think there is any money left over for Dad, not planning on buying a thing.....

I said over 400 cause im still a young hunter and i have to build up the stuff i need, i still have to get some of the needs never mind the wants.
