[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2297328, member: 116486"] It's possible, depends where you live and who you know. I'm on average wage as I have changed jobs. I have multiple rifles and it took time to get to this point having raised kids etc. Most of my hunting has been shooting on private property. Rabbits, pigs, goats, foxes , Dingoes. Depending on the factors of the time location, budget etc. I went to South Africa once ona management hunt. Total cost Inc travel about 11k or say 8k US. A week's wage here might get you a New Howa on special, depends on your priorities a bit I guess. A Howa and a Leupold might be had for $1000 from a large retailer who does specials. Go hunting. If you live in the city it's different, again of you know someone or you can hunt public land the fuel might cost more than the ammo. A trip out west would cost more than that Howa/Leupold. Combo. Again, I use the word Priorities, depends what you want most. I have up smoking when the kids were young, saved for stuff and my only international holiday/hunt was at age 48. There is always secondhand gear too. So I would say a low income earner can hunt and own firearms. I don't live in the city, I own my home in a country town so that's a blessing but the rest I really think is about what you want most and striving for a goal. [/QUOTE]
