Default I shall not spend even a dime

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