He does!!! He voted for McCain....all Reublicans have deep pockets..LOL Oh wait...did this just turn political...sorry:biggrin:

Gas and beer and whiskey and cigars and food.

I'm guesing the "food" is optional.....????

Nope I need to bring food.But this year Ive got all the gear I need,
not spending a dime on gear this year. I have two hunting trips. I've got a week long moose hunt leaving on the 24 of this month and a week long deer hunt in Mid Nov.As far anything else goes I have it all
plus backup.

The only gear I usually buy is arrows but I still have 9 from last year,its a good thing cause dnr doubled the price on all the license and that cost me a pretty good chunk of money,I had to settle for one firearm permit if the prices double again anytime soon count me on the poachers list.

I also already have slugs and everything I need for gun season,if I get some spare money I may update my clothing to something a little warmer.I did buy a new slug gun this year its a mossberg 500 with a smooth bore barrel it also came with a waterfowl barrel,I usualy use a single shot slug gun with a rifled barrel but after last years mishap I am taking the 3 shooter,I will tell you what had happend was It was the opening day of the firearm season,and a complete monster of a buck came right down a fence line hopped over directly in front of me this deer was 200 plus pounds body was so big I didnt even get a good look at the rack cause the body on this sucker had me dang near peeing my pants well anyway,I put the sights right on his heart and shot,he took off and I thought I had got a huge buck cause he was only 10 yards away heck how could I miss? I get up to look for blood and while im doing so I look back to see where I was setting at when I shot, and boy was I in for a surprise when I looked back.I had cut a 3" round tree dang near clean in half,that put an end to the single shot hunting.I also will be paying more attention to those little trees.

I take my bow, a knife, a flashlight, and the most important, a reliable bic lighter. A lighter is important because if you fall out of a tree, you have 1. a signal fire for when they come looking for you and 2. especially in the colder weather, you have a fire to keep you warm. I had a friend freeze to death in about 45 degree weather, so dont think if your bundled up youll be alright for the night if you cant move.

Right now, a new rifle and nice scope, if I needed one.

Harness style deer drag--5 bucks. Way easier than dragging by hand or using a cart.

Compact sharpener.

Shoulder length field dressing gloves are worth the dollar. Keeps you from getting wet when it's -30 and stops the crusty dry skin feeling from blood.

You might consider first aid goods according to your needs.

Shoulder length gloves are COMPLETELY worth the dollar!!!!

Keep it simple. Buy the basics. Weapon, Camo, Ammo, Food And Water. Over time you'll build up on your hunting gear. Can't go out and try and buy everything you need at once. Ask buddies for extra stuff. If they're like me I have extra stuff to spare. Good Luck.

I thought syrupman wanted, ideas of things to buy. :rolleye0011:
