This kinda seems more like a brag thread to me people do need to know the cost but it doesnt take anymore than few thousand to start it is expensive over time. I wont mention what i have in it but saying it easily takes 35K is ridiculous. That is because you want to hunt in a ranger crew cab and have all the top of the line fancy stuff which is not necc to all people. Not saying thats wrong but it can be done for way less just my 2 cents
I agree, hell I hunted on a cheap little 1000$ fourwheeler for the first 3-4 years without a garmin or tracker of any sort for that matter. It can be done for MUCH cheaper than 35k, MUCH MUCH cheaper. Most of the things we use today are not necessity, they are things we use to make our lives easier, think about it 40-50-60yrs ago the guys rounding up their hogs/ cattle didn't have garmins or shock collars or fancy buggies to ride around on and they managed just fine. the most important things regarding this sport in my opinion are making sure you have the money to fall on to properly care for your dogs in the event that you do have a dog that requires vet care but like yellowblackmask said, there is TONS of information online regarding animal care and alot of things you can handle yourself by doing a little research beforehand. Good luck in the future, to say this sport is addicting is an understatement.
