I really don't care what anybody else uses or buys. I only care about what works for me. Until recently, I've worn the same hunting clothes/camo pattern for over 20 years. My heavy hunting jacket is 21 years old. I shoot an 11 year old bow, aluminum arrows, fixed blade broad heads and use a grunt call.I don't use any scent killer products, I just hunt the wind. The right wind. The biggest thing that has increased my success is studying deer behavior. What they like and what they don't like. I do not rely on gadgets.
I really like what Greg said here. Lubricious and BHF said it right in my opinion as well. Here's my take on it. I hate all the gadgets out there!! People shot deer 20 years ago just fine without all the gadgets on the compounds and without all the scent eliminator clothing. You don't need all that hyped up ****, what you need to do is use that melon on top of your shoulders so you can get these animals with in decent shooting range. Learn to hunt better instead of relying on gadgets or a better faster bow to fling arrows out there a long ways. Allot of people could save allot of money if they put more time into learning the animals there hunting instead of having the so called best of this and the best of that. I could care less what people do or use but more and more hunters IMO are relying more on there equipment and clothing then they are on hunting and knowledge. JMHO!
