What are you using? What am i missing?
I'm giving you first hand testimonials. I've been sitting in my tree stand, scanning with the thermal and see the deer long before they were in bow range.
You have no idea what kind of world it opens up. It almost makes hunting boring if I can use that word. No more guessing if there is deer/hogs present.
I've seen them in some thick brush.

I've lived through the frustration of not being ready for a deer because they show up last second.
Keep in mind. I hunt public land. So I'm not hunting feeders.

Edit - pulsar, I see now.

The idea is to improve your chances to harvest a deer. (at least that is how I look at it).
Once I start tagging out every year on public land within the first few days, I will look to challenge myself better. lol

No judgement here, I'm curious about ALL products that people love and don't leave home with out. I never set a price point.
There's no reason to troll the man because he values something that you haven't bought or field tested.
Let keep the products rolling. Packs? Feeder? Camo?Last edited by BassMaster13; 12-04-2019, 04:58 PM.

Havalon with plenty extra blades
Good base layer to stay warm.
Good flash light, and good head light. I have Fenix and love them, but there are bunch of good brands.
Blind back or backpack big enough to hold everything you bring PLUS a package of wet whips. If you've never hunted you'll soon find out why wet whips are an essential part of a veteran hunters bag. I didn't have any wet whips last weekend so I packed a whole role of TP.
I agree that good glass on a rifle is important, but i spend way more time looking through my binoculars than my scope.
