>>2159734I’m no expert in hunting, but I can tell you that you don’t need to spend $600 on a set of this year’s meme camo and $1,700 on the latest and greatest rifle, optic, and bipod combo. Your great grandfather shot truckloads of deer with an iron sighted rifle and dressed like a flannel traffic cone. I’d say that the Gucci shit has a time an place for expert hunters, but it’s cost is offset by rapidly diminishing returns.
For a poofag set up where I live in the NC mountains either m81 woodland or swiss alpenflage would be fine, depending on the season. Sharpen whatever knife you have unless it’s some meme POS krambit or something. Take whatever centerfire rifle you are most comfortable shooting and get some soft points for it. Make sure the rounds don’t veer wildly from your initial zero obviously. Get a roll of thick trash bags from Lowe’s or Home Despot or something. Maybe some cheap rope if you want to string it up in a tree instead of butchering it on the ground. If your current pack is some neon color get some cheap mossy oak or real tree pack from Walmart for $20-50. Bingo bongo there’s a poorfag setup.
A lot of hunting is about fieldcraft, for example knowing shit like where the critters like to eat, drink, sleep, fuck, and when they like to do it all. That sort of stuff is far more important than what brand of camo you’re wearing or how new your rifle is.
