[QUOTE="joshua99ta, post: 909083, member: 21026"] I'm not an elk hunter really(never been but I have total intent on doing so) I'm only 29, single, and no kids, my house is paid for(however I'm doing some renovations and currently moved back in with my parents until I'm done with the house). I don't have all the nice goodies. I'm trying to acquire them. I've been young and dumb and made some bad financial descisions. I've got 3 atvs, a boat(nothing fancy just an old bass tracker), a motorcycle and back when I bought my truck it was about the finest thing on the road(for a 1 ton IMO) and I've enjoyed it all! But I'm starting to want to settle down more and spend more time in the woods and shooting. I'll tell ya this stuff is EXPENSIVE!!!! I'm one of those that when I buy something I want to buy the best. However I know the best is often out of my price range. I make pretty good money, for my area anyway, and its still hard to buy a $2,000 range finder, $3,000 binos,$2,500 spotting scope, $2,000 scope, and a $2,500 rifle! Even at this point in life I'm almost debt free and I still don't have thousands of dollars in the bank like I should! Just to kill something at 1,000 yards. It would be much cheaper just to hike a little farther and get closer. But right now I do have several thousands of dollars invested in hunting and my goal for 2014 is to have more of those expensive items I listed. Maybe not all of em but most of em. Then I'm still gunna try to buy a truck to make that trip. Nothing nice and new, something like a 2002-2006 Tahoe 4x4. I want an SUV to be able to get all my stuff in the truck and it not be out in the weather during my 1,200+mile trip. I say that truck b/c I am very familiar with these style engines and know them very well. [/QUOTE]
