Older folks and new gadgets.

We want to use them but when you see the big price tag you are reluctant. Just the way we came up. I got a sunspot inferno, I got an alpha with a t5 and a t15 but it was like pulling hens teeth to get me to turn loose of that much money.


I remember $6 entry fees lol.

It is so hard for me to spend money on toys. I always feel guilty and ashamed of wasting such a chunk of money. If I can get a really good deal, I'm ok.

Too many people mistake toys for tools. If it helps you get it done faster/safer/better it's a tool. No guilt. You're welcome.

Can't get used to people looking at a screen instead of turning the lights out and listening for their hound. Can't get used to it at all....

I couldn't either ...until I could hear my dog but I'd walk the wrong way, I got used to it pretty quick I wasn't wanting to stop hunting so I did what most of us have to do if we live long enough and able to hunt long enough I adapted.......

I don't limit my listening pleasure to a radio, I can watch and listen to the television at the same time. The garmin tells what is going on during the silent times also.

I seem to collect lights and Alphas I have 4 Alphas 2 placed with partners along with collars . But it is the lights . I have @ Unspot , 2 zooms , a next level , and my new fave is a Boss Patriot with the shining spots are the old yellow style . I have diabetes vision issues but thankfully Extra Man is putting them up there and I’m finding those Rockys . Thanks Bruce !
