Trying to stay away from places to buy turkey stuff.  This time of the year I am all antsy and feed the need with buying stuff I "have to have".  Well I been pretty good so far this year.  Just bought a Fowler striker, some shotgun wads, and a couple face masks (I am a face mask snob and the first I bought I really did not care for after wearing it a bit.  Love the other.)  Only thing left is some shot, hope to buy 3 pounds here soon.  Good luck to any of your fellows fighting the urge as well!

I think most feel the urge. Scouting feeds the need. Regardless most guys buy things they don't need. Think about it last day of season they were fine n opening day which is only one hunt day later we feel we need stuff.
I'm def guilty n enjoy all of it

I've bought more than I needed. Bought a Roger Latham box yesterday. I have pretty much changed out my whole friction call setup even though I don't use them that much.  I still need shells and mouth calls.  My son picked up a couple of Hooks calls yesterday and he will be home this evening so I'll see how I like those. Hopefully they sound good and I can have him pick me up some more next week and then I'll be down to just shells.

I also just finished a conversation with my cousin. We were leaning toward a MS hunt but now it's looking like we may just cancel. I really want to hunt out west for a Merriams next year so I need to start saving now!

No doubt I'm addicted to buying gear I really don't NEED.  It's even worse every year when the new bows are released!

I used to buy bows quite frequently myself. That's a bad habit!

I'm good, might get some shells but thats about it.

Just tried out some Hooks. I really like that 4 reed v. Heartthrob was pretty good. I'll pick up some more of those. Think I just found a new brand.

Hooks are priced very well also!

5.99 at a bow shop in Jonesboro, AR. I've never seen them sold around here and lucky for me I'll be sending my son back to college Monday with a little extra cash.

I've bought another mask, jacket, trumpet, 3 pounds of shot and a pair of gloves. Almost bought another shotgun.

You guys load your own shells? That's getting serious!  I only get to kill 2 birds each year in MO, a box of shells will last me a few years.

This will be my 2nd season rolling my own. I chased numbers for years and after being disappointed in what I could buy - made the decision to try tss. It's great stuff. My 20 gauge now out performs what my 12 use to do with 2 7/16 Nitros.

I jumped to loading my own because I got tried of Hevi Shot prices going up and the pattern counts going down. Now that I have what I need it does not cost me any more to reload than it did to buy Hevi. I am also shooting a 20 ga instead of 12.

Couple more Hooks calls and some shells and I'm good. My son is gonna pick up an Executioner 2 and a 3 reed v. I'll likely be done. I did add this but more for sentimental reasons and not sure if I'll take it to the woods.
