« on: October 24, 2009, 03:35:00 PM »
im gonna start. im not gonna say my bow, because i think alot of people will say that.
mine is under amour cold gear.. i can be just as warm with half the layers.. that way im not as bulky when drawing my bow.

so lets here about what you've made, or bought that makes hunting more enjoyable..

The following are among my favorite bits of hunting gear:

1) Leica 10x50 BA binocs. Pricey, but long-term durability makes them very cost effective.

2) Lone Wolf Alpha Assault tree stands and climbing sticks.  Clearly a product designed by people who use them themselves.

3) Schnee's pac boots.  Wonderful boot for sitting at temps down to 20 and a great walking boot, too.  Also very durable.

ACS CX for my son and myself-initially they were both for me; but I knew the 'purchasing manager'
would not buy that explanation!   :bigsmyl:

Hands down my GPS. I can walk to any of my stands in the pitch dark without stringing a mile of bright eyes.

My elk license in 1987. Back then, Wyoming Game and Fish 'threw in' a bear license with your elk tag, and I shot a P and Y blackie coming to my elk bugle. Don't know what that says for my elk calling, but that bear sure was a rush at 7 yards!
