Yep, me too.  Thanks to GFA's book on Stalking and Stillhunting, I know better how to use them too.

Two things:
1. SBD 6-strand strings have had a big impact on bow performance.
2. Insect Shield clothing -- absolutely works and keeps mosquitos and ticks away.

My yearly Trad Gang $20 contribution has gotten me invaluable information and many memories.

I’ve learned a lot from this site, have made a lot of friends from this site and have had hunting opportunities that were generated from this site. Money well spent!

[joe ashton]

besides bows, arrows, b/h, feathers etc
the best deal is the game cart.  This year I hauled out an elk in one trip alone. I love that cart.

[KSdan]

Flowers for my wife.          

[Sam McMichael]

Tree safety harness. Also, a very large and well stocked camp first aid kit.  I haven't needed it, but it gives me comfy feeling knowing its there.

I did like RC, took several heirloom rings & the wifes wedding ring to a good jewelr and had nice one made for her.  That was leverage for Alaska moose hunt this fall.   :D

I purchased a good set of binos pretty early in my hunting career, before a wife, mortgage and come September, a child.

My SPOT unit allows for my wife to feel more comfortable with me venturing out far from home and my Mystery Ranch pack helps me get there.

[huntnmuleys]

[LONGSTYKES]

New Garmin Montana, with chip on property ownership. Helps a lot for hunting access.

[threeunder]

Quality clothing and quality rain gear.  The price is steep, but the benefits have been tremendous.

I will say it was my first Traditional Bow it open my Eye's.

Waldrop Pac seat. Got it the end of March. Between the seat and my home made ghillie poncho I feel 100% more confident I'll break into the 15-18 yard bubble this season. Been shooting from the seat with the ghillie this off season. System is working great.
