I’m pretty much set for guns. Only thing I might pick up is a concealed carry pistol at some point.
I’m pretty set for anything from mice to Moose so I’m concentrating on employing those weapons to collect game.
I have a Moose & Bear Hunt in Canada line up for October, a tentative whitetail Hunt in Wisconsin in November and will be looking to book my 2020 hunt for either a Mule Deer in Colorado\ New Mexico or a Red Stag Hunt out of country
Also, I plan to catch a few more trout on the Guadalupe before the season winds down
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Most of us that frequent rifle forums would be better off spending more time/money shooting and hunting than acquiring more stuff. This is true in my case, I’m sure there are exceptions..

I have enough guns...the only thing lacking is something .338 or larger and currently don't have any plans to go somewhere I will need it lol.
My goal this year is to shoot my handguns and rifles so much that I will have to rebarrel something out of necessity not out of want.
Just my .02,

Buzz, all kidding aside you are like a lot of us,you really do not "need" any more guns but the want is always there for many of us. Save the $ and take time with loved ones, the memories made are better than the ownership of more toys,
I wish I had done more of that myself looking back. My fondest memories of hunts gone by are not that I used this new gun or that new gun but the fun times on hunts with Family and close friends.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Buzz, If you can't resist the urge, they do make factory rifles. Many are reasonably priced and shoot great. I wasn't sure if you knew the still make them.

What is the point of buying guns if it means you dont get to hunt?

Hunting.
This house build has had me watching customers of mine putting animals on the ground the last two months, with ammo I made, and rifles I orchestrated for them. Happy for them, but I've felt like I'm missing out. So, for 2020, I'm hunting. I've got more than enough nice rifles and pretty decent pistols than one man needs, so I'm going to go use them.
Buzz, you'll cherish photos of you and your daughter hunting more than photos of guns. And when you die, you can Will those guns to her, but she would rather have the memories and photos of hunting with you. You also have plenty of nice rifles and pretty decent pistols than one man needs. Words of wisdom worth repeating and heeding. Well said FJG.

Spend time, not money with the kids. It may involve spending money, but after my son died in a car wreck it was too late to make up for all the lost time working...for the "kids" yanno.

Most of us that frequent rifle forums would be better off spending more time/money shooting and hunting than acquiring more stuff. This is true in my case, I’m sure there are exceptions.. A few hours at the range with a good rifle is like taking a car you enjoy driving on a joy ride. Still, there is no doubt those who buy a nice car and seldom take it out of the garage.
