Well, I've learned here on Rokslide that you need a $2k bow, a $500 pack a $600 Jacket, $500 boots, a $2k rifle and spend at least $3k on a scope. Not to mention spotting scopes and binos. That's got to be another $3k. Then finish it off with a brand new $50k Tacoma decked out like it's the apocalypse with a snorkel intake and at least 5 gas cans on the back with a super cool roof rack. So, at the bare minimum, $60k just to get started.

Bare minimum indeed. Rookie numbers right there.

If I saw someone hunting a spot that only spent the money you described on gear, I would feel obligated to move as to not infringe on the poors.

Victorinox paring knife and worksharp field sharpener. USA made stockman pocket knife. Mini bic lighters. Use your binos way more than your feet. sit pad for glassing. Hold your ball cap brim at the same time as your binos to stabilize. Layer your clothes so you can adjust for temp and activity level. Smartwool socks.

Practice. Always practice. Whether it be bow or gun, get familiar and comfortable with your weapon. Then work on accuracy. No worse feeling than wounding an animal. Also, test your gear before you head into the woods. Make sure everything is in good working condition and you know how to properly use it. Don’t buy a new pair of boots and take them on a trip without breaking them in first. That’s a huge rookie mistake.

Buy nice cold weather gear!! I hunted with cheap gear for many years before investing in good gear. Make world of difference.

1. My H and H .375 double rifle. I use this for everything because it has the necessary energy for a clean kill.

2. Make sure you wear scent blocker, I’ve had lots of turkeys wind me over the years.

3. When you find a good spot, make sure you share it online, that way someone will repay you when you are in need of a hunting location, mainly out west.

4. Start your post with “Hey Ya’ll”.

Hey Ya’ll!

The most important tip is to have patience and not get discouraged when you don’t see or harvest any animals. Hunting is a life long learning experience and it takes a while to start figuring it all out. Don’t get discouraged
