RE: Most important piece of equipment

I haven't seen it posted yet....but my vote goes towards BOOTS. Atleast in Iowa, it can get dang cold during that November rut. And a cold/wet pair of feet will ruin a hunt faster than anything IMO. You can still see deer without binos, but if your cold/wet feet force you home early...then your garanteed not to see anything.

I will gladly pay $200+ for a good pair of boots if they will keep my feet warm and dry during those all day sits in the November/December winters.

i gotta ask whats it like to be able to see far enough to use binos. heck in my woods my farthest shot with shooting lanes cut is 30 yards.

Here's a good indication of what it can be like where I hunt. This was in mid-december (after leaf drop) and I STILL use binos a LOT. I see deer glassing sometimes before I'd see them with the naked eye. And it's imperative to be able to distinguish BB's from does, early.

I hunt in an area that is thick like that, but when the leaves drop you can spot them with binos. However, where do you guys keep your binos and rangefinder? I feel like a dang computer nerd with almost too many gadgets.

It's nice to have all the stuff, buy I feel like I am lugging up everything but the kitchen sink up there.
