What are looking to add to your hunting arsenal this yr?

I have already bought 3 ladder stands.
Thinking about maybe, just maybe, buying some rage bh's.
I need to buy a new bow string.

 

I will be adding a Dream Season fleece suit and new boots as well as another hang on and ladder stand.

 

Yikes, the list goes on and on... I'll have to see what kind of hunting budget I get from the wife this year, but an additional LW stand is high on the list. Maybe an arrow saw and jig. New UA Gloves that I scoped out at Cabelas.

 

Already added two more hang-ons. Possibly one more by this summer.
New Lacrosse Alpha Burly Sports.
That's about all. Not nearly as many toys for me with a wedding and house purchase

 

I'll definitely add a set of climbing sticks and some sort of lock on style stand that will be used for run and gun setups. I've got a small handful of places I can't get into with my climber that I'd like to set up in.

I'm seriously contemplating to sell the Allegiance and checking out another hunting bow. I swore I wasn't gonna do it, but I probably will if I can get the right $$ for the Ally. Not sure what will replace it quite yet, but most likely a Sentinel or maybe the new Air Raid.

I will have Jeff at Gray Wolf Woolens make me another suit in Wolfskin. I want one in Predator Gray. I've got Predator Gray in Cabelas silent weave, but after this year I'll never hunt in cotton again. I never realized what it was like to be truly comfortable in all weather conditions until this year. I spent more time on stand in bad weather because of it.

 

New bowstring for sure, and maybe a lone wolf set-up for run and gun setups. Probably some new arrows as well, since I get new arrows every year.

 

O yeah, I almost forgot, I am pretty sure that I am going to be picking up another Reconyx game camera from this site, I know it isn't cheap but honestly, it is worth every single penny. These units are truly amazing!!

 

Do me a favor and keep adding some updates for us on your thread, I'm curious to see how well they hold up after a while..........

 

Don't worry Matt, I will. I can tell you that the battery life is really impressing me right now. I checked it today and the battery life is still readying 90% and that is after taking well over 500 photos with the temps being in 10-30 degree range. I have some photos that I will put up tomorrow of a coyote that was working at the remains after I field dressed my buck from Monday. This coyote is very thin and rough looking and after further inspection I noticed that it is missing half of its front left leg.

Also, this week I will be doing a very in depth review of the unit with pictures for Todd, I am assuming that he will be using it on www.trailcameras.com

 

I am a huge fan of the Primos Can so I found a sweet new product that Justin Zarr couldn't believe I liked and he thoroughly scolded me for even thinking it was cool. I plan on shooting a booner this year using it, it is a harness with a rope that allows you to put your can call on the ground so deer don't pinpoint you in the tree. There is also a Grunt call in the works which should be ready for next season.

I also look forward to some warmer Ultimate Camo and possibly some Predator Camo.

There were also some new climbing sticks, safety harness and a stand I saw the other day that i might purchase for run and gun hunting.

 

Hmmm. I hope to add more Lone Wolf Sticks, maybe a good GPS, ground blind seat/stool. There may be more than that but for now, these things I have at the top of my list.

 

Madhunter- be sure to hold off on the sticks till after you get to see the new Muddy sticks. I have the Lone Wolf and will be switching next season.

After returning from the ATA my list is way bigger now then it was before the show. I will be switching to Preditor Camo this season. I will also be adding several of the Covert Scouting Camera's. These were my favorite product from the ATA. I am working on getting one and hope to have a review shortly after. Be sure to check them out at www.dlccovert.com

I am sure that I will have many more items to add to my list after I go through this huge stacks of brochures tomorrow!

 

Just thought of another item. I was tracked down this morning by Jay Gregory so that he could show me the new Black's Creek camera case that he personally designed. I had an opportunity to go through all the pockets and try it on and have to say I was totally impressed. They haven't gone into production yet but will be available over the summer. I will also be adding a camera to my list for next year.

 

I've got a new Hoyt AlphaMax 35 that should arrive any freaking day now. I'll be getting a ScentBlocker 3D suit, I just bought an Ameristep stand and climbing stix on clearance, and I would really like to get one more Summit climber as well. Oh, and a set of Scent Shiel Expedition weight thermals.

 

I didn't scold you for liking the product - it's a good idea - but you can build one yourself out of a few sticks and some string. Not pay some dude to build one and spray paint it in his garage.

If you want, I've got a piece of rope and some zip ties I'll sell you in a plastic bag for $9.95. They work great for simulating a buck fight on the ground. :D

As for myself - after seeing the new trail cameras out for this year I'm not sure what I want anymore. I'd like to try them all, but will probably end up trying a new Moultrie and picking up a Reconyx as well. I'll definitely add some Muddy sticks to the arsenal, and I will most definitley be outfitting every single one of my stands, and probably Todd's too, with the bow hoist holder from Pine Ridge. I hate few things more in life than getting to a stand only to realize there's no bow rope.

I'm also gonna try to add a new Ross Carnivore to the stable this year as well. Probably stick with the Gold Tips for this year, but might give the new Duravanes Fusions a whirl, tipped with BloodRunners.

And I really, really want to get some Sitka Gear too. Just not sure I'll be able to afford it this fall. If not, I may pick up one of those nice Fleece jackets from Predator that I saw, or possibly some of the Bone Collector stuff from Scent Blocker.

So many products, and not enough money!!! :mad1:

 

JZ- I totally forgot about the Pine Ridge Bow Hoist holder. I am sure I have a ton more items that I can't even remember now but I am sure as those of us that went to the show start posting more they will trigger my memory.

I did talk with the rep from Sitka for awhile this afternoon and was really impressed with the clothing they have.

 

Depending on how the budget spans out...

It will either be buying a totally new bow set-up OR new string, arrow rest, and arrows for my current bow.

I'll also be picking up some new camo outer wear.

My focus was on a new bow, but it seems to change all the time. At the moment I am in the mood to do some traveling so that may cause a new bow to take a back seat for a while....we'll see...

 

Im going to re-accessorize my bow. New strings, sight, rest, stabilizer....a few more arrows. Ill sell all my old stuff before turkey season. Then im planning on getting another trail camera, and some new hunting clothing. That abotu sums it up besides a few new tree stands.

 

I'll need to get a few more arrows, and a sts for my bow.

 

My list also got longer coming from the ATA show. There is some great products that are coming out, can't wait. The new Muddy Sticks and a long list of other products are on my list. Also been looking at a couple of new bows. My wife was excited about hearing the list lol.
