What's the most UNDERUTILIZED piece of archery equipment?
 

OK, I'm bored and things have been a little slow around here, guess it's summer or something....[&:]

We have a plethera of tools at our disposal. Good clothing, good stands, blinds, boots, arrows....blah blah blah......Of all the hunting equipment out there......( NOT INCLUDING OUR BRAINS......that's just too obvious.....) What do you think the most underutilized tool is?

I would have to say maps. Topos are a great way to predict deer movement. I've been learning alot about maps and GPS in the last year and it is really fascinating. My deer sightings have gone up, my scouting time is lessened (which is good because the less intrusion the better) and I don't get lost so frequently....[&:][8D]OK, I've never gotten lost, but maps really do help.

I may have to agree with you, because I hardly ever use maps. (Of course, I've pretty much been hunting the same piece of ground for the last several years...)

I just won a brand new handheld GPS by Garmin a couple months ago, so I'd like to learn how to use it.

Been using a gps for a while and they are a great tool, keep the batteries fresh, it's a hungry tool. Had a problem in some thick fog once.

Hunt new places a lot and a map/topo/(large tracts) is a must. I just like to get them and have some I haven't even been to yet. Pretty cheap if you ask me.

I'd have to say books.

i think brains are overutalised....it shouldnt take a brain 3x the size of a deer (yea i know some might not have that big of an advantage;)) to outsmart one right?....just use them the wrong way, deer don't think like humans. Their life revolves around staying alive and reproducing. revert to the primal predator:D!....now if only i could claim it works for me.

underutalised?
FEET
