Sure is great reading about how many of us got our first deer rifle by working our asses off to buy it. It wasn't the need or want of it as much as our parents knew it was the way we needed to learn responsibility and to work for the things we wanted to have in life. My folks never said no when I saw a gun I wanted but " get to work if you want it cause that's the only way you will get it." 1st gun, motorcycle and car all bought with money I earned gave me a work ethic for life, betting the same for most of us. It's what a lot of kids today don't have because their parents buy them everything without letting them earn it. Magnum Man
