What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

I'd like to get into hunting. I'm getting my firearm license in a couple weeks. Going to get hunting license and plan to start soonest. Any advice for someone starting out?

Get with a friend or family member who knows what they are doing and follow them around. You can look into dedicated hunting groups but that can be hit or miss. It's usually not hard to find a group dedicated to helping kids, women or veterans to get out and hunt, but if you are a grown man there's not much options.
