    What products would you guys like to see be released into the field. Even just as a concept, what items would you guys find useful, innovative, essential, or game changing that we don't already see?

    That's a good question, tough to say, since there isn't really anything that we don't have

    I got one. A nock or a broadhead with a tiny gps tracker built in that connects to a phone app. With precise technology it could save you a lot of time looking for arrows/ looking for a blood trail.

    Why not just find them the old fashioned way, by using your eyes and a bit of woodsmanship? It's more fun. Just a thought.

    I actually really enjoy tracking, the excitement of the hunt isn't over for me until I track the kill

    Bring this back up in November. I think of loads of stuff when I'm out hunting and always think "I'll look into that later" then turn around and forget what it was.

    how about we all get robots to go out and do everything for us since we are heading that way. they can sit still, be scent free, we can camo them any way we want, they don't talk or text, heck they can do everything. what are we becoming with all the products out there? we are definitely not becoming hunters! puppets to technology and tricky marketing.

    Maybe we should ask your wife if you are replaceable!

    Me..... I'm going to keep on hunting even if I mess up time and time again!

    I like the robot idea but you got it wrong. I need one to cut the grass, paint, work, ect ect so I can spend more time in field

    must be you can tell when someone is kidding. my wife probably wishes I was replacable! lol just to clarify my post to you so you understand this time. I believe we are becoming puppets to technology and are losing our woodsmanship. more products aren't going to help anything except the manufacturers wallet. if you aren't a good woodsman then all the inventions in the world aren't going to help. I feel I'm good enough in the woods that I don't need any machines or special clothing to kill game. I have the same success today with modern equipment as I did 30 years ago with old stuff.

    oh yeah, I appreciate you bringing my wife into the conversation. thanks

    There are many many products available that have been endorsed by TV hunters that are complete junk, just like fishing there are many products that will catch more unsuspecting customers than game.

    Obviously Bow hunt or die is the best show ever!... But man I would love to see ppl like me hunting.... Rocking mismatched camo, 9 layers cuz it's freezing, Mathews bow but Walmart arrows, and at least one thing with duct tape or super glue

    I totally agree please don't get me wrong, I was not being sarcastic when I said it is the best. I love when they show guys excited about shooting a doe... That's real, that's me. Plus you don't see many other shows that air bad shots, misses, and actually critic shots after. I can't count how many times TG has said I spoke with ( whoever) about that shot.
