new gear for the upcoming season

[JohnWester]

so let's hear it!  Has anyone purchased anything cool or new for the upcoming season?  Have you seen any new products that you must have?

I bought a field blind for canada that'll have to sit in the garage until next year... that's about it.  And I bought some used decoys that I still need to go pick up. (mental note)

Havn't seen anything new yet that I must have.  Maybe something will stick out at the game fair.

I have on my list a new ground blind for deer hunting. hopefully i can find something with snow camo as well.
second, i am looking at the summit "goliath" climber stand, rated at 350 pounds. a little more re-assurance when i'm 20 feet off of the ground.
no guns for this year, but i have been eyeballing new-used bows  :-\

I need to buy a new scope to put on my .243 for Jake.  Any pointers guys?  I need something cheep but good.

[jigglestick]

look at SWIFT scopes 
over the counter lifetime warranty.
several models, one I'm sure to fit your situation.

I haven't seen alot of new gear this year. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but after the last couple years, this is the year to be satisfied. Everything I have is good enough. :P

 

[JohnWester]

Everything I have is good enough. :P

 

bite your tongue, you can never have enough... there is always room for improvemant and always something new coming along that you don't and must have.

[Joe]

OK OK....I might have found one piece of new gear I probably can't live without. ::)

I bought a new custom recurve in june last year and it came in january for this season.  Also thinking of getting a ghillie suit soon.

Hey dudes, finally made it on here. Dr Bob, don't go cheap on the scope, I'm sending you a pm with my phone number give me a holler before you buy one. You can't go wrong with a leopold.....buy one once and forget about it.

I got a new smokepole at Cabelas when I was out in Mitchell SD for a couple weeks. TC Omega, blued not stained with a plastic stock. Then I had my buddies that work at Boyds make me a custom thumb hole stock for a grand total of ....$140
Took Monday off and shot it a bunch. It's a pain in the butt cleaning them but I got the hang of it after a while. Shooting into each other at 50 and 3" groups of 3 at 100 yrds. Have land lined up all over the place in SW MN for the second weekend, going to hunt them like birds. Good to finally get on here, missed a bunch of you knuckleheads.

Hi Marshall.? Welcome to MNO!? It's about time you showed up.?

How's yer Grandma?

I'll have to chat with you about that scope.

Are you going on the MNO Pheasant Hunt?

[GRIZ]

Hey jiggle may I suggest a new investment. How about a self loading smokepole. Well worth the money

[GRIZ]

Nothing major as I can't afford the items on my list. Did stop by fleet, gander and sportmans today just to buy some shells and reloading supplies. Well lets sum it up this way I walked outta there with what I went there for. In addition I picked up a pair of insulated camo jeans, a double gun case for my ice rods, couple dozen mallard decoys, a couple camo shirts for myself and my boys first camo shirt that matched my hat that he was wearing. He thought that shirt was pretty snazy.

The moral of the story is that a big kid should never go to a candy store with a check book.

Oh I forgot I got some soft plastics for bass that were on clearance.,

Whats on my list a 10 ga., 223 over a 12 for predators, a .270, winter camo, more ice fishing rods well hold it i'm already broke why am I dreaming. I haven't even started to mention boats yet.

[Dr.Bob]

Sounds like you and Griz jr. had a fun time at the candy store .? It sure is fun to spend money when you get what yer after!

Today I cleaned out a shed of mine and found lots of neat duck hunting goodies that I bought on clearance prolly 5 years ago and forgot about.? It was like an early Chrismas for Ol'Doc!

I may just have to do a little more cleaning of the buildings.? Lord knows what I'll find.

[HUNTER2]

I bought some of that under armor clothing. That stuff is great. :o
