I like adding a custom arrow holder to all my bows(see the "never use toothpick holder again" thread)

I also like a little trick Barry Wensel told me about for wind checking.  Take a wad of colored yarn that fly tiers use and pull a little piece off and let it go in the wind.  I get a better read because I can watch and see what it does 20-30+ yards from my tree as it gets closer to the ground.  I was suprized what the little bit of thermals do when I started using this.  I have a cool little holder but a film vile with a X hole cut in the top works as a good holder or just stuff some up into your front pocket at the top towards the button on your pants(if that makes sense.)

I'm a fan of most of these products you guys are mentioning also.   Perhaps some folks will get the idea....

I'll throw in another.  Those harness thingys that you replace the "regular" bino strap with.  You know the king that goes around your shoulders instead of your neck.  Plenty of brands, but they work well.  

Along the lines of the wind detectors....this could even be in a "frugal" topic, but I like to use cotton balls.  You can buy a decades worth of wind detectors for a buck.  Put them in all your hunting clothes pockets so you have them.  Just pull off a bit and let it fly in the wind...kind of like the yarn idea.

Hey Snag....I haven't had much luck rattling in Muleys.  There are a few around in my deer spots, but whitetails sure respond well.  I rattled in 5 bucks at the same time the other nite!   That was fun.

great thread, Mark.  

Stylus Pen Light in green:  

small, emits plenty of light to walk by in the dark to stands or whatever, NO night blindness when you shut it off, led light lasts forever...I always carry two...if you get an elk or deer down in territory your not familiar with, you can turn it on and tape it to a leg in the air or a nearby tree, etc, and you can see it from a long ways away to lead you back if your packing.  I've guided using these lights since they came out and I highly recomend them.  You need the plastic focus thing that comes with the new ones, though.  Your beam is tough to see by game or anyone else but you, this is nice.

Carlton wool/felt things that strap to the bottom of your boots...i don't know what they called and I can't find them in 3R anymore

I don't use a lot of gadgets, but I bought these several years back. I am constantly pulling off my boots to finish a stalk in my socks...not much fun in the cold, snow, etc.  These wool pads work great and truly work to muffle the noise of crunchly leaves and icy snow for the final stalk.

I've been using one of those small, two-piece Realtree EZ Hang bow hangers for several years. They work extremely well.

I've had good luck with those Primos estrus bleat can calls. Used at the right time of year, they're very effective.

Hunter Specialties makes a deer dragging harness that rolls up to the size of a baseball, sells for less than ten dollars, and has made more that a few deer drags less tiring for me.

And laugh if you'd like, but that Butt-Out tool for field dressing is outstanding.
