It used to be all a sportsman needed was an old pickup truck and a little
boat with a motor to go fishing with. Now there's an arms race of guys with
monster trucks and brand-new shiny boats showing up at the fishing holes.

I liked it better before.

To to hunting now, you need a grand worth of special pattern camo
gear, a $4k rifle, a $1k rangefinder, a $12k quad, $2k in camping
gear, a hunting license, etc.
