    That would likely be my range finder, the original Bushnell 400... had to send it back to Bushnell one time in what 10 plus years, not sure the age but it's tried and true coupled with a Crooked Horn Bino strap.

    The recurve I hunt with about 1/4 of the time every season. It is a lot of fun.

    I used to have a grunt call that I loved and was pretty old. I had to get rid of it for reasons I'd rather not talk about.

    I have a Scent Blocker leafy suit in "advantage timber!" LOL 10 yrs old? I still use it. Great for Oct and early Nov hunts.

    My knife from 1986 (1st year hunting)
    Then probably some of my broadheads to be honest. I've been using thunderheads since 97
    Most of my other stuff ain't that old

    my Bow was stolen this summer from out of my truck (left the door unlocked) so all of my gear is brand new this year. But i have my lucky overalls that I have been hunting in for 11 years.

    Great question! I dunno, probably my Gray Wolf Woolens suit. Bought it way back in 2006 I believe. Still looks and wears like brand new.

    A treebark hat, circa mid 80s. It was my Mom's, and she gave it to me during my first late archery season hunt because I forgot a warm hat. That was in 92. I've worn it every late season since.

    Mine would probably be my bow, bought new in 2007. Other than that, it would probably be a jacket and pair of pants that is probably 8 years old

    The oldest thing I have is my knife that my grandfather gave me. It's a lot older than me and I'm 38. The oldest thing that I've bought and still use is my HS Fresh Earth scent wafers that I bought in 1991. They smell just as fresh as the day I bought them and are actually stronger than the second set that I bout about 10 years ago.

    Probably my boots and an old ladder stand. Both are probably 7-8 years old now, maybe?

    I've got a 29 year old pocket knife that I bought the day before my first deer hunt.

    My binos. I bought them somewhere around 1994-1995.

    I really want a new pair but just don't feel like dropping the dime on them.
