Budgeting For Hunting Gear Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan talks with fellow podcaster Brian Krebs about budgeting and saving for hunting equipment purchases. Brian and Dan talks about the "buy once, cry once" purchasing method where you are more than likely to spend a larger sum of money upfront in order to gain a product that lasts a long time. Then, once you have all of the equipment you need, essentially there is no cost to hunting outside of tags and licenses. Unless you are a true gear junkie who buy hunting gear every season no matter what.

Brian talks about how he pulls money directly out of every paycheck in to a specific account he sets aside for hunting gear. This allows him to know exactly how much money he has to play with every year. The guys also talk about how and where to look for deals and discounts. Fun episode you will be sure to enjoy!
