Was bored yest afternoon and came across these bibs on ebay. At the time they were around 40-45$..I decided to watch them and see where it went...just got a notification the auction was ending. Clicked on it and WHOOOOOA NELLY!!! This must be a bid of men against men no doubt...lol. Never in my most delirious state would I ever spend this much. I bet all my turkey gear doesnt add up to this....
They are Carhardtts but I ain't paying that either.
I don't spend much on supplies besides my shells I believe in good shells since already have good gun and choke save all my money for gas and land so I'll be where the birds are
I spent "money" on my shotguns/rifles & shells/bullets, but camo - nah! I just posted an "Evolution of a Turkey Hunter" thread; most *all* of that camo I'm wearing & have worn throughout the years was bought on clearance/close-out at the end of the season. In fact, that very first outfit -- the pants were given to me, and the shirt was like $2! :)

X2. I buy everything after shopping extensively for the best deal I can get on it. Even if it means waiting a while...
My Lord, that's craziness.
Now that Wal-Mart's "in the game" (for turkey stuff), that's a good place to "monitor", but over the years I've gotten a lot of really dirt cheap stuff @ Academy Sport's when they're sick & tired of dealing with that season's apparel! :) One addendum to my post is -- boots. I've never really gotten lucky on "waiting" on boots, and have had to pay a fair price on them.
dang...and those were preowned/worn

:agreed:
Nobody's cheaper than me! I have my "base" supplies and I will restock after the end of the season and everything is on sale or clearance.

The only thing that I have and will not be cheap on is my gun, shells, boots & some calls/strikers. For camo I remember for years when I was a kid going to rummage sales and getting the woodland camo fatigues. Even after I got out of the Marines, that is all I would wear until they stopped fitting. Today I look like a conglomerate of different camos. As long as it is clean, I wear it.... The t.v. shows would never put me on cable... :funnyturkey:
I usually end up spending enough to feed every house here in Lilbourn a Thanksgiving dinner.....LOL way too much...but hey, I could be spending it on some other addicting drug....
Camo is probably the LEAST expensive thing I worry about. I buy it from bargain bins, and if a store on-line is having some kind of closeout discount or something. I just think being still and having the right general colors is usually good enough if you break up your outline decently well. Hell, this week I walked up on two Gobblers while I was out scouting and had on brown jeans and a khaki shirt and camo hat, they were within 50 yards a handful of times and I had just laid down in the middle of the dirt road and covered my face with my shirt...I bet I watched them for half an hour. They'd look at me for a while then go back to feeding.
Guns and shells, I enjoy patterning the gun and tinkering in the offseason so I probably (definitely) spend more than I should (or NEED to).
