Guns, guns and more guns
« on: October 13, 2010, 06:57:44 PM »
I think there is definately something wrong with me.  I'm starting to see guns as I do fishing equipment.  I've been told jokingly that I have a sickness when it comes to poles and lures.  But now I have this fetish with guns.  Never really got into them since I bow hunt but something switched in my brain.  I'm not paranoid and I'm not rich.  Maybe it's because I'm 10 months away from getting married and we have seperate accounts for now.  Normal?  :dunno:

Don't question it, just keep buying! You're doing your part to help the economy. I'm guilty of buying pretty much anything that's for sale at a reasonable price.

I've found myself doing the same thing.
Started off with a 6mm Rem (my deer rifle)
Then I thought to myself I need something "stronger for Elk". So I picked up a 7mm savage.
Then a Mosberg 12g for Turkey,
Then a 30-06 for deer/elk
Then a .22 just cause I wanted a varmint gun.
Up graded to a .17hmr for fun.
Now I got a sweet deal on a Model70 Winchester .308  (perfect deer gun I told myself).
Son is going deer hunting for his 1st time this year, went and picked up a .243 Rem

This has gone on within a 3yr spand.  :chuckle:

I almost have more guns than fishing poles now.

I go in phases. I'm into guns and hunting stuff now, I was into flyfishing stuff for a while.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

+1  I am really arguing with myself recently whether to take my new 7mm08 when I go for rifle elk here in WA or my 325wsm or the 300 winny.  Would really like to kill an elk with that 7mm08, but the others are truly"better" elk calibers.  Not that the 7mm08 is insufficient either, jesus, now I sound like a woman deciding which shoes to wear. :dunno:  Sorry if I hijacked the thread.  My answer, keep buying guns.
