Hey hoosier has thought about this a while or has been there done that. Great post hoosier. One other piece of advice I can offer; don't get stuck in a rut with sponsor search for just hunting equipment. Go outside the industry. Most hunters are "Gitt er dunn" kind of guys. That means do-it-yourself types. Go to your local car shops lumber yards junk yards and any thing you may do when you are not hunting.
