What new gear worked really well for you this year?
Two items that I used in the last couple of weeks really made me appreciate having them.
The badlands superday pack I got as a christmas gift and the dead sled I'd bought a year ago.
The pack has this pouch to hold the rifle. I put one leg of my small folding chair and one leg of my tripod in it and away I go. It handles the two very well for the late season hunts when I prefer not to treestand because of the temps.
The dead sled I used two nights ago to get a big doe out of hilly area and in the deep snow, it worked great. Would have been out in the near zero temps. at least an hour longer without it.

Purple Nitrile gloves for dressing and skinning versus regular latex. Stronger and last longer.. Also the $2 plastic flask I got from Gander instead a carrying a noisy water bottle.
Nothing fancy, just the basics.....

The new battery operated scent dispencer from droptime. The thing ran for 2 months straight on 1 set of batteries and always worked. I have over the years used scape drippers and a lot of times I would come back in a week to find that they were still full. This is a neat little product. I already got 2 more as Christmas gifts. deerman

I made purchase this year of a Gerber Freeman fixed blade knife and I was very satisfied with it. I have some other Gerber Knives in my collection but I decided to go with this one because it came recommended. I got a pretty good price on it. I was impressed with how strong and sharp the knife was.
