    So you're sitting in the tree... there is absolutely no action not even a squirrel frolicking in the leaves to keep you perked up and you imagine Bo Derek bounding through your woods... some of yuall are not old enough to even know who she is and have probably never seen the movie "10"

    no... not that kind of fantasy...

    I'm talking about tools, gadgets, equipment, etc., that you wished you had that you don't... because they do not exist!

    my short list has always been:

    Laser cutter/limb trimmer - to trim those damned branches while sitting in your stand
    respirator - that will make my breath disappear when it is cold and my breath is visible
    cloaking device - this one may not be that far off...

    BBC News - New 'invisibility cloak' type designed

    Maybe we'll have this available in my lifetime...

    Do you reckon it will be legal to use for hunting when/if it is ever available?

    I always thought a Jet-Pac would be cool for getting to my stands. Scouting and shed hunting too!

    Dragon Ball Z, Capsule Corp style ATV vehicle capsules that unfold and fold into a tiny little capsule that goes in your pocket.

    Lol!
    Honestly, I have not had the chance to fantasize about anything other than my hitlist bucks while in a stand this year. Two mornings I just about fell asleep in the stand from getting up and out at 4:30-5 am...along about 7:30 I thought I might have to rely on my safety harness, lol.

    Yeah this is top of my list too. I would like to invent some sort of way to teleport to and from stands. Kind of like Star Trek ... Beam me up Scottie! That would be really cool. And would save me about 4,567,342 miles on my feet.

    I kinda wish my doe decoy could sing "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, only in deer language. That would be so cool.

    Thought about this exact thing the other day. Some how transfer a chip into the deer when you shot. Would be sweet, expensive im sure, but it would be cool.

    Have thought about this one quiet often this season... I have been playing the Deer Hunter game on my phone (not on the stand) and you use Thermal Scope to make lung shots and heart shots...

    If i could have the technology i would be very tempted to just ride around in an electric golf cart and look for deer off in the distance.

    Would be illegal for us, it's been debated whether lighted knocks could be illegal(DNR has said legal). No electronic tracking devices allowed.

    If I could choose one fantasy item to have in stand, a scent vacuum.

    You can beat their eyes, but you can't beat unpredictable swirling winds.

    How about a broadhead that realeses a small chip in the deer after impact and can be tracked by your phone...cool idea...people would buy the **** out of that.
