Sure nice to see the economy is working for some folks.
I wouldn't equate people's hunting plans with the economy.
I prefer to look at it this way...MANY guys have realized there are far better hunting opportunities in this world, than what they have available at home. Life flys by, why not enjoy it along the way? Since Joining the PBS (Professional Bowhunters Society), I have zero desire to chase whitetails in Michigan anymore. Opportunities abound, just look at the diversity of people and hunts included in this thread.
For this to happen, you need to decide what is more important to you in life...Buy anything, and everything, on a whim=no money/stay at home hunting, OR figure out the cost of what you want to hunt, and be disciplined enough to meet your goal so that you can go on the hunts you want to go on.
If you need help figuring out logistics, just ask. There is never a shortage of good guys willing to give valuable information.
Good luck to everyone posting in here. May your freezers be overflowing and quiver just 1 arrow shy.
