I remember asking Patrick McManus how many shotguns are enough. He said “one more.” It’s a good rule to live by, (or buy, if you’ll pardon the pun). But with the economy in suspended animation, you’re probably changing your habits a bit.
I doubt anything will keep you from hunting, but it might affect your spending plans for the next couple seasons. So, what do you really, really, need … what will get your hard-earned dollars in the next couple seasons?

i hunt for deer mostly
It’s hell on quail, anyway.
We’re mostly geared up but I see another .45 in our future. I like my husband’s new one way too much, and must have my own. He’ll probably bear hunt with his; I probably won’t.
