[QUOTE="jtkratzer, post: 609375, member: 40885"] Its actually against DOD policy to copy/scan your ID for any kind of discount. I think the only place in the civilian world that it's authorized is for medical treatment. The thing with prices is people see what the pros are using...but pros don't pay those prices. The pros are constantly on these guided hunts or properties with monster game and people think they need all of the same gear to take trophy animals. You don't need a $1000 bow to kill deer. Nor do you need $1000 of scent blocking clothing or $1000 invested in game cameras. It's all what people are willing to pay. Look at the $10 packs of scent blocking/eliminating chewing gum. If a deer is close enough to smell your breath and isn't dead, you suck with the bow or you really need to see a dentist. There's a difference between the hunter looking to put meat in the freezer and the guy simply looking to shoot a trophy. The meat hunter is probably more likely to see that spending thousands of dollars eventually defeats the purpose of trying to put healthy meat in the freezer at a better price than what you get at the store. This stuff is on the market for the same reason a Bentley goes for over $300,000...there is a market of buyers. [/QUOTE]
