No, my wife says I have spent too much money on hunting crap already. So maybe next year.

Yea its a must havefor me , I gotta know the range around my stands and blind so when that moument of truth comes around I'll have more confidence to pull the release.

When I hang my stand I mark distances and never use a range finder.
Exactly!

No, I don't have/use one. Never felt it had to be a requirement in my fanny pack...enough stuff in there as it is! Of course if someone wants to send me one as a gift, I'd certainly try it to see if my opinion changes. LOL

I don't own one either. One of these days, I'd like to, but the good ones are still $$$$$.... [:-]

I just pace off 20 yards and use something natural as a marker/guidance and even pace out 30 yards and do the same. It seems to work great, where I'm pretty good at judging distances.

All I do is scan a few markers around the stand/blind then I'm good to go. I'm still pretty decent at judging yardages if a deer comes in from an unexpected area but I do get at least a few markers first.

I wouldn't hunt without one. It takes out all of the guess work. When that buck of a lifetime walks out, I find comfort knowing that I won't miss due to a misjudgement in distance.
