Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment and Good Food. Go.

All right, we're coming in hot.

So this has been an interesting topic of conversation here.

Mark's pretty wired on an energy drink and Ryan and Eric got super excited for this one.

I'm sweating. I'm along for the ride here for the most part. What we're going to talk about today is we've called it the

Craigslist hunter, we've called it the eBay hunter, we've whatever it might be.

Essentially this is we've discussed hunting a fair a

whatever it might be essentially this is we've discussed hunting a fair amount on this podcast thus far.

Mark's Mark is removing his quarters of right now because he knows it's gonna get heated.

And some of the stuff we've talked undoubtedly, it's hard to deny the fact that the general sense of things is that you may be that you have to spend a lot of money in order to be able to go out and go on a hunt. And we believe that this really isn't necessarily the case. Now, it doesn't have to be. so perhaps there's times if you were going to go on a

sheep hunt in Alaska once in a lifetime maybe you don't want to raid Craigslist

and e-Bank get the cheapest stuff available maybe't want to raid Craigslist and eBay and get the cheapest stuff available

maybe you want to you know invest more wisely in your equipment so that that once in a

lifetime opportunity you're set up the best for success but But generally speaking, we kind of tried to keep this

to say your first hunt, first time going out there honey,

or you're a beginner hunter, and you hear a lot of people

talk about hunting, but for some reason, it just winds up, it's like mission group.

They wind up just, oh, and then you can get this, and you can get that, and you can get this, and all of a sudden,

the bill is at like two grand to go on a squirrel hunt.

We don't think that's the case.

So, Eric, would you say that's where this came from?

You kind of brought this up, right?
