I'm not sure I'd even shoot or reload if the thought of finding a nice buck wasn't continually creeping around in the back of my head.


Hunting(and the required practice shooting) is literally my only hobby and I guess I take it somewhat seriously.

Walking around with $7500 worth of junk just to look for a stinkin' deer?!


Mildly serious.




But of course there are guys that have that wrapped up just in a rifle and scope so I guess they are REALLY serious....grin


But it's a drop in the bucket compared to my buddies with $50k walleye boats!
