    Everything in my signature, along with 2 new scentblocker trinity tops and bottoms (one for early season and one a size larger for layering under). Irish setter vaprtrek boots, new facemask, new gloves, new under armour scent control compression infared evo set, and a few other odds and ends. Finally decided to get everything new and what I wanted. I was happy I got my scentblocker on sale. 1 set at 50 percent off and 1 set at 75 percent off. It has been a great off season. Still looking for a new blind.

    I just bought a new 2014 Hoyt Carbon Spyder 30"/60 lbs.

    Since it was last years model I got a hell of a deal. I might try the Rage Hyperdermic 2 blades this year. Have you tried them?

    I used the hypos last year and took 2 bucks and a bear with them without issue. I used the regular rages until last year.

    I finally pulled the trigger and bought a new bow. My trusty Z7x will be relegated to blinds or short bow duty. I got a great deal on a Chill R that I ordered with 70 lb. limbs and 29 inch draw and the 85% letoff rockmods. I am outfitting with an HHA king pin single pin sight and a QAD drop away rest. This is my first single pin sight and am very interested to see how it does and how I adjust to using it. I am very excited

    Congrats on the new bows and stands folks. I love my Lone Wolf handclimber and have used it since 2009.

    My bow is a couple months old now, but this will be its first hunting season with me. So it's new to me. My sight is new. I have never used an HHA sight, but I love it. Everything else is new, but items I have used before. The QAD HDX was bought new for this bow but I have used them since 2012. The Easton Bloodline shafts I just got in are new, but again I have used them since 2012. The Dead Center Dead Silent was bought new for this bow but I used DC on my last bow also.

    The only thing that is new from last year is my arrows. I found a great deal on some GoldTip Hunter XT's earlier this summer. Same bow, same release, same optics as the last three years. Hopefully, this is the year that I can finally get it done!

    This is my wish list. I'd like to have a Horn Hunter Treestand pack, a Browning Strike Force HD trailcam, and possibly some new rubber boots (don't know which ones though). I want the pack more than anything else.

    Blessings........Pastorjim

    Well, I work for Bass Pro and get a nice discount on Bass Pro products. My 30 year old Martin bow weighs 14 pounds and is bbbbig so this year I bought the Blackout SS bow package, and matching Blackout arrows. Fast, light, and small. Oh I bought a couple Moultrie 990I cameras also. Still using the same Itty Bitty Goose release, Summit Viper stand and of course Rage heads! LOL

    I actually sold my Z7 Magnum this year (never thought I would) and after a short stint with a Prodigy, picked up a Chill R. Love this bow so much I went and bought a Chill X to go with it.
    I also am looking for a new blind...not sure what I'm going to do there. I don't like blinds at all, but it makes it easier to take my kids.

    LW hand climber, but that's it for whitetail hunting. My hunting funds have been focused on gearing up for my elk hunt this year.

    I'm replacing the majority of my hang-on stands with Muddy Outfitters and Muddy Hunter stands.

    going to pick up a habitat hook before we hang our stands, looks like a great tool for early spring.
