RE: Most valuable hunting tool?
without a doubt my most valuable hunting tool is my home computer! i set up all my swap hunts in here, and that accounts for nearly 100% of my traveling. i use it to research areas, drawing percentages, regulations, etc. i use it for these bulletin boards like this one, where i get any question pertaining to equipment answered by someone who knows. i can get info on areas on these sites, too. i can buy licenses in some states on here. using my mapsource software and gps, i can "scout" a lot of places without going there. i can order gear on here, store success pictures on here, and type stories with the intent of having them published in hunting mags on here. using this computer i have made a lot of great friends and new hunting partners.
without a doubt my most valuable tool.
