I shoot OK gear.
Amazing how so many of the cheap gun/ optics fans drive vehicles costing 10 times what mine did.
Spend the money however one wants.
Try being a taxidermist... some guy rolls up in his $70k pickup, towing $20k worth of ATV's, with a buck he shot on a $2500 landowner tag .... and then pisses and moans at $700 to mount a deer he'll have for life.
