As far as legal goes, I'll leave that up to my state. I will say that the more I hunt year to year, the more I'm inclined to get back to basics. No decoys, rangefinders, or other high-speed gadgets to make things "easier". Sure my bow is modern as well as arrows and climbing stand, but at the end of the day, everything sold in Bass Pro, Cabelas, or any other store can't compare to simple woodsmanship. I quit trying to keep up with the "jones".
