Hunters love gear, there is no doubt. I have been asking hunters all over this question and some of the responses have been hysterical.

Personally I have way too many knives... I could probably use a different knife everyday for a few months.

Flashlights, I love them all from mini light, to headlamps to spotlights. I just like to have them.

What do you have way too many of?

Too much is never enough! At least that’s what I tell my wife.

Just one more! Of everything!!!

I have 3 safes full of guns but since I hunt mostly Elk, it's my 338 mag that I always use so the others just sit in the safe. Can a guy have too many guns?

I probably have too many tree stands. When there are multiple unopened ones that have sat in my basement for several years, I probably should stop buying more.

Coyote calls. I love predator hunting. I love luring them in with a mouth-blown call. I love the close proximity and "uh-oh" expression when I successfully sucker one in nice and close on its own turf. I also love custom, hand-made gear. I am fascinated that some people can take a piece of dead tree, and with their own hands and creative mindset, create a hand call that is both beautiful and highly functional. I can't help but throw money at these guys. I have enough custom hand calls to use a different one on every stand and likely never use the same call twice in a whole year of hunting (maybe two). Last season I made something like 100 stands, so there you have it.

Reloading supplies, if my house ever catches on fire I will have to stand at the road and tell the firemen "just let it go".

Some serious pack rats and hoarders so far.

Quoting Fight Club...hmmm.

I'm not sure what "too much" means but as long as I enjoy it there's no such thing.

Pegleg makes a point. My African battery would likely be enough, but it's not. And there are rifles that are scoped and ready that have never been hunted and some that have never been fired or even scoped. Someday.

My philosophy exactly!

Ammo is out of control. That's why I've
stopped reloading more.
Ran out of SAW cans. (19 full)

Guns I keep adding to, never enough.

I collect knives, and probably have at least 200 of them. Deer rifles are another thing. I can use one at a time, and could use a different rifle every day of Pennsylvania's two week season. And then there is ammunition. I could melt several barrels. When I die, the auction will take awhile.

Same here.

How much is too much?
whatever the number I might just have a little more than enough! I have new rifles and guns that have never been fired even though I have had them for many years, and a 50lb Bear recurve bow that hasn't been strung in over 40 years, but it AINT GOIN NOPLACE!

No!

Most everything.

Heck, I could outfit an infantry company if I had to.

Horders

The older I get, the more I spend on optics, and hearing aids. Next, will be an all terrain walker or scooter. LOL!

I only saw it once, many years ago. I thought it was greatly overrated.

I only remember that one is not supposed to talk about it.

It was a shit film. The best quote from Major of Hiroshima was 'what the fuck was that?'

Well...I liked it. So there.

Ammo and coats.

I'll never run out of ammunition now and never be cold. When I was a kid I never had enough of both.

A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition

Optics.
I think I have four various swarovskis, leica, leitz, zeiss, etc. just for binos. I now have a large drawer and half a shelf in the safe with spare scopes from wheeling and dealing different guns. I always try to upgrade both guns and optics, and rarely sell the guns with scope attached.
Books.
Last I counted, I had a library of over three hundred hard cover hunting books from all over the world. Some of the better ones I have probably read 2-3 times, and still have thirty or so I have yet to get to in those cold winter nights!
