People always get pissed at me because I have a bad habit of breaking things down.
All of my guns are what I believe to be the best quatlity for the money. Same with my optics. I have never spent over $200 on a scope, and I never will. Fact is, I am 100% confident that I can out shoot half the "hunters" in the woods at 100 yards with my open sight 1960's 30-30 lever action no matter what gun they are holding and what scope is sitting on top of it. BUT, I have worked hard to become the best marksman I can.
I do buy good hunting cloths!! I don't care about patterns, but I do care about comfort and quality, and those two things don't always come cheap. Especially when it comes to foul weather clothing.
As for bait....I can't comment. I hunt public land exclusively, and have never baited an animal, unless you call tracking deer to where they feed and waiting for them there "baiting".
As for scent control, about all I do is wash my cloths in a purfume free detergent and clean with a scent free soap. I hunt in Southeast Louisiana and it is really hard to hunt "down wind" when the air is still and stagnant. Sometimes here it can be November and you will be in 80 degree heat with 90% humidity and not a leaf on the tree moving. Of course, if I do have wind then I will use it to my advantage.
