two 1600# feeders, two 1000# feeders, all with new eliminator plates and solar; 5500# corn and two Ranch King Little Bucks, camera batteries. Final lease payment due Sept 1. Looking forward to our new lease. I don't want to think about a running $ total.
Now prepping for dove, need to pick up license this week and beat the lines.

Looking forward to our new lease. I don't want to think about a running $ total. Not adding up everything spent on deer hunting is Rule #1 for those who participate in the sport. And this includes NEVER calculating the cost/pound of venison.

Some shotgun shells for dove season and I just ordered a scope from Cabelas. They have the Vortex Viper HS 4-16x44 on sale for $299.99. Wasn't planning on a new scope right now, but that's too good to pass up.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

I bought three new feeder batteries when someone posted that sales link to Cabellas a few weeks ago.
Thanks, Rich

I buy stuff all the time. Just bought 3 cases of shotgun shells. Used a half case in a charity skeet shoot last weekend. The leftover will be used for dove and quail season.
Also bought a Savage .243 with a bushnell scope because it was too good of a deal to pass up. Also needed a "ranger" rifle in case we run into a coyote or hog while we are driving around. Because of the price, I don't feel bad about dirt and scratches. Sighted it in this weekend and shot a coon and yote with it out spotlighting. Sweet little gun!
