ORIGINAL: GMMAT

No. 1 - 5 years ago....did you have/utilize less gear/gadgetry in your pursuits for deer than you do, now?

No. 2 - 5 years from now....what do you predict you'll be doing (in this arena)?

Explain?
I still pretty much hunt with the exact same gear I had 5 years ago with the exception of a new Garmin Rhino 530 we all purchased for last fall to replace the FRS radios. No to mention I have replaced a lot of arrows....

My wife and i have a small familly so I can almost guarantee that 5 years from now I will be shooting my same bow as I am stillhappy with it..In afew months if the budget permitsI am looking to replace my old faded predator fall gray camo with some wolf skin fall brown predator from Gray Wolf Woolens..

My boots are 10 years old and I am sure I can easily squeeze another 5 out of them.. Can't beat Viberg boots.

Not really I have collected a few more stands and the one thing I have now is a range finder that works. Years ago I had some bad range finders, you had to split the image with a dial and take out the backlash, now it's just press a button.

I have more stuff now that I did 5 years ago, but I wouldn't place it in the gadget/gizmo category. It's more in the utilitarian, now I can afford good clothes/stuff category. :)I'm not a gadget/gizmo kind of person. I do have a rangefinder, but don't often use it. I use scents WAY less than before. Always have & always will use a grunt call. I'm at a mix as far as compound/trad gear goes.

In 5 years I could see it going to all trad gear, and make use of a GPS that I may add this summer.
