I hear this question on the occasional interview and thought it would be cool to see what you guys would choose. So the question is, what $50 or less (or $100) hunting related item have you bought in the last two years that you would recommend to a friend? Try to keep it serious and not the obvious choices.
Evercalm herd in a stick would be my recommendation for the hunter who likes to try different scents.
Boneview.. awesome for swapping out cards on the way to the stand and checking what I had once I settled in.
Discounted KUIU merino wool base layer 1/4 zip shirts bought in the Spring. Last years for 65% off. I rarely will hunt with a shirt that doesn't unzip anymore. Really lets air out to cool off while walking and can close up nice once cooled down. Regulates temperature much better than I ever thought it would. I bought 1/4 zip ones for hunting and a couple non zip ones just to wear. Really comfortable and actually fit me well for being tall. Not short on the arms.
Thermacell and/or a PEET's boot dryer. My boot dryer is hands down the best investment I've made. I have 7 year old boots that still smell newish.
In no particular order: A good, American-made knife Ozone Generator Iris Weather-Tight Tote Cotton-Free Clothing (Most people don't realize how terrible cotton is in cold weather)
Problem is one of those isn't gonna get you much! I have 4 now and plan on applying next year. We'll see if that gets me anywhere or not. May need 1-2 more yet.
you can probably draw an archery tag for something like unit 45 with 6 or 7 preference points, decent access and some Ok bulls.
