I like Sako’s, Savage 99’s, Remington 700’s as far as guns go. I collect Morgan silver dollars, but have been giving them to grandkids on their birthdays. I collected baseball cards at one time. Wifey collects old glass dishes. I collected old license plates, but got out of that. Some guys collect ex wives.
What do you collect?
I have old Whitetail antlers too, old plumbing tools, a few Mausers

Fishing trophies I guess, antlers of deer and elk too.

Fishing lures. I don't collect them to save, I use them. Sometimes I just have to have this color or that shape. It's my kryptonite.

Books, and apparently bicycles as I had about 14 last count.

Rifles and old ammo boxes that are full is what I try to collect. Looking in the garages the correct answer would be JUNK and it is piled everywhere too!
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Old vehicles, tractors, old tools and lanterns.
Coleman stoves apparently.
Old saddles. Buzz saws.
Basically all the old shìt our grandparents were more than happy to be rid of when something came along that made life easier.
I don't like easy.
I am MAGA.

Besides rifles, revolvers, and ammo?!?!
I would have to say I have quite a large collection of fishing tackle. Sole for fresh but most of it geared towards inshore salt.
My other favorites include tobacco pipes, cast iron cookware, whiskeys, and my current passion is chainsaws.
Enjoy the hunt while it lasts!

Pennies. Ever since I was about fifteen years old. Mostly stuffed in ammo cans and I don't have a clue as to how many.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I have about 25 different guns but I don't consider that collecting. I just like them and buy what I need for different hunting and protection. I do collect old coins and have a decent collection. Another thing that I really love to collect is Ironwood. I have probably close to 100 pieces. I get most of them at thrift stores!
A 380 in my pocket is better than a 45 in my truck!

Broken bones, scars and bruises..... Well it's seems like since that's what I've had the most of throughout my life.
Bad decisions....
Old coins.
old guns, not the safe queens but the ones that have stories to tell......
tools. Not vintage or collectables but just tools in general. I have multiple of just about everything.

My fishing lures adorn the tree all over the states lakes I've fished.

Nothing any more. After having to handle all of the stuff from my two parents that passed away and who both liked to “collect stuff” I’ve decided to go as minimalistic as possible. I no longer want stuff piled around me or weighing me down.

My weaknesses include old obscure cartridges, and unfortunately some weird fixation on vintage compasses, which apparently some other folks are interested in as well judging from the way prices have been trending.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Books, old bullets, magazines.

Old Toyotas, old Cummins, Honda Trail 110s & 90s, Yamaha Big Wheels, Rokons, the more broke down the better.
