model8,

I agree with Mr. 16 gauge on many of his points. I have not lent out a hunting arm since a bad experience in 1961. The legalese system of today is a better reason not to ever lend an arm to a newbie!

As for hunting gear, most folks have Winter clothes in their closet. The only NEW item needed is a $2.00 orange plastic vest available at Walmart and a $4 orange hat. As for knives, my $5 serated edge pocket knife has gutted many deer.

A hunting rifle will cost a newbie about one-fourth of a laptop computer or about the price of an Ipad, give or take. One sets one's priorities and goes accordingly.
