What not to buy/bring?

[Rob W.]

Rattle bags, scent killers, heavy gloves, heavy coats, face masks, folding saw, wind floaters, and large grunt tubes are all things I have done away with. Over the years I have replaced those things with an extra pair of wool socks, more water, a good set of pruning shears(splits rib cage too.) and small bleat can.

I have an entire plastic tub full of stuff I don't use.  Mostly gloves, hats, misc broadheads, sharpeners that never worked as intended, etc.

Climbing stand!! You would be suprised what you dont need when you stay on the terra firma.

Rob,

Never thought of splitting bone with pruners!

Dan, I also practice without an arm guard, but never go without one when I have on camo or cold weather gear.  The biggest buck of my hunting life still walks (OK, probably dead of old age, now) because I felt the little "tick" of my bow string on my sleeve and watched the arrow run out of steam and drop j-u-s-t below his chest at 21 yards.  I wear an armguard now...

Gee,

St.Jude's auction should be replete with all this "UNUSED" stuff above!

Or you can send me your addresses and in my wanderings, I'll stop by, split some wood or mow yard if'n you let me root through your junk tubs!

  :rolleyes:

Cabelas folding seat (never used in the woods! keep in trunk for sitting on to changing out of boots when I get back to the car), stake in the ground bow holder (used once, weights a ton and bow fell off of it first time out), Montana deer decoy (used a few times one deer came in and when it got close spooked), mess blind material (brought in a few times but looks like nothing in nature), Assorted clothes, gloves, hats, military canteen, more fanny packs then any one hunter could need in a lifetime!

Total waste and I bought a few of these things this season. Shoot me!
