I was looking at the new Rogers spring sale flyer. Fancy turkey loads, tss up to $4.50 a pop down to cheap Federal's at 79 cents a boom. A bird in range with either load is a dead bird boys and girls.
Kinda like a DSD or a Walmart foam decoy. They both work......sometimes.
:camohat:
You think turkey hunters are crazy about gear, run in some of the archery circles for a while. Those guys will sell everything they have and 'upgrade' the next year. Flagship bows every year.
Just like any other sport. Arrows, broadheads, basketball shoes, even exercise bikes. Its all personnel preference.
Turkey hunters worst enemy is a turkey hunter that thinks differently and thinks he needs others to know his ways are superior.

Agreed! I'd hate to see the coin some of those guys drop on their duck hunting Sitka digs!
I don't care what anyone spends. It's their money and I enjoy the entertainment.
Don't misunderstand guys, I'm crazier than most! I am observing that's all. And the other mentioned sports? I bow hunt. I duck hunt. I goose hunt. I turkey hunt. cRAZY!
So what's worse, people who have to have the best stuff, or those that think they're better because they look down their noses at them?
The world would be a better place if everyone minded their own damn business.
It might be easier if people that wanted keep everyone out of their business didn't plaster it all over the internet.
So that's what wrong with me , I've been crazy all these years .... here turkey turkey turkey .... :OGturkeyhead:
Well.....I sometimes think I spend too much on turkey hunting, but if I add up the fishing bill then there's no comparison. :-[
Let's see:
A new deep V boat last year
at least 3 new rods
I don't even count the lures
XXX gallons of gas
Charter fees
Hotels
Man I hope the minister of finance never adds this up! Oh she did buy me the new boat last year....yeah I got a keeper when I hooked that one.
A lot of turkey hunters tend to be a bit sensitive too!

That is the understatement of this new year. I wonder how some people make it thru the day in the real world when they get so upset about what someone they have never met wrote on a forum lol.

Or they throw you under the BUS .... :TooFunny:
I live within my means and get to enjoy turkey hunting, even if the Hevi shot costs me more everytime I pull the trigger. I also have an extreme fishing addiction & have since I was 3 years old. No telling how many fishing rods & lures I own...WAY more than I'll ever need.
It all pales in comparison to my wife's equestrian addiction. Whoever said that a boat is a hole in the water you pour money into, never owned a show horse. She has jumping and dressage lessons every week, owns a jumping and dressage saddle, has all the fancy clothes & boots to show in. Mix in shoes for the horse, vet bills, board & feed at the farm where her horse lives. Of course, she had to have a living quarters trailer (camper in the front horse trailer in the back), and a truck big enough to pull it all. Blankets, bridles, halters, bits, stirrups. Then there's show entry fees. membership dues, club dues, and on, and on, and on. That said, I'd rather have her riding his than mine! I'm thrilled she is consumed by her passion, I just wish is was a less expensive hobby. The win/win for me is that I have rights to hunt some of the farms she rides on that are otherwise off limits to hunting.

I've been ran over, and then backed back over and never missed a beat. Like water off a ducks back ;D
its all the same..whatever you are passionate about the most, you will tend to spend more money on
I play golf about 10 times a year, soo I have some old titleist clubs and cheap golf balls will be fine for me, but now Turkey hunting gear...heck i buy pot calls, box calls, shells, new camo just because i can because i absolutely love it!
f
The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys !!!
This reminds me....I need a new Yeti and some Sitka camo before Spring.

Who us? Nah! lol Vanes, vanes, vanes, how I love to switch them out and try difference kinds and sizes. Different arrowheads too, gotta try all that I can. Targets? Just give me a cardboard box stuffed tight with old clothes that have had their zippers and buttons removed. May not look fancy but work just as good as those expensive targets (For field points anyway)
LOL I cleaned out my hunting rig this past weekend and found at least 50 assorted turkey shells. Ill try anything once.
