Gimicks
I wanted to know how much of the stuff on the market for bowhunting or just deer hunting in general is really needed or just a gimick? If your not carefull you could end up with alot more than needed, If you try carrying it all you couldexeceed your wieght limit in your stand..lol. I have been deer hunting since "92" and alot of you are more experienced and in the woods more, I would like to hear your opinions!!
P.S. Im not wanting to affend or upset anyone by this ???
Thanks Kruggy1

RE: Gimicks
Well all you really need is a bow, some arrows, some camo, and yourself. You don't NEED anything else but it makes it a lot nicer to have. Thermacell works great for bugs and is nice to have around and it doesnt weigh much.

I dont buy into the need for every type of call on themarket (only use a grunt tube, rattle bad, and doe-in-estrous call) or every different type of buck or doe urine (dont use any to begin with). Just take what I need and go from there, I feel confident in the tools I use so no need to buy up this gimick or that.

RE: Gimicks
PLEASE DONT TAKE OFFENSE TO THIS, ITS JUST MY OPINION!!!!
The one thing that I believe is kind of a gimick is the scent lock clothes, In my OPINION they are not worth an extra $100. I do use silver thread scent killing under layers,and scent wafers. Plus keep all my clothes in a lockable tote with a earth scent wafer inside. Only reason I say this is when you watch hunting shows and they are using them, They still get busted!!!! If they were givin to me by sponsors yes I too would wear them, But cant jusify paying $300 for a jacket. AGAIN JUST MY OPINION!!!
