I love: The safer,more comfortable treestands, warmer clothes!, Hot Hands!, higher powered scopes. But just like VA, I wish it wasn't so commercialized. I hate going to a store's hunting/outdoors section and seeing all of the junk that they sell. It makes me mad.

Im easy when it comes to hunting, I do like the new bows,stands and other equipment but i just love the hand and foot warmers they just make those long sits more enjoyable.

That's pretty damn close on the weight too. I think I was 8lbs 15oz or something like that.

I like have endless choices for arrows, rest, sights, bows, etc. Instead of going to the archery shop and ordering a " # 1", which was a Whitetail 2, dozen gamegetter 2's, and some razorback 5's.:D

I don't miss:
overdraws
flipper rests
crackshot releases (i must have dropped the one I had 5,000 times)
brass sight pins (had to raid moms finger nail polish to brighten them more than once)
butane handwarmers (anyone ever use those dangerous SOB's??)

I have to agree with the cold weather gear too. That has come a LONG way. I remember the days coming home from a hunt and taking about 7 hours to thaw out. Feet would be cold and wet. Hands wouldn't have feeling in them. If you moved your face it would crack. Shivering constantly on stand. I don't miss those days too much. Thank you under armour, hand warmers, insulated boots, and cold weather camo.:D

What things do you like about bowhunting in this new age?
Trail camera's. Other then that Nothing much really. I've never been much of a gadget guy.


What don't you like??
I don't care for the technology In bow hunting. To me It's taking the hunting aspect out of It too much. Whatever works for ya though and to each his/her own.


If you could bring back something from the early days, (relative to how old you are) what would it be??
I use older stuff that was used back In the 80's.
