Hunting Gear You Really Miss

[utvolsfan77]

I bought a gorilla harness from a member here. It got stole off my porch many years ago, wish I had another. It was so much more comfortable than the hss I have

Do you remember what model it was? Did it have buckles like auto seat belts do? I still have one of those and I believe it was a Gorilla Model G30. I hardly ever use it anymore because if you carried it in, it would make a lot of noise from the buckles banging against each other.

I was a g something, but I don't remember it having car seat buckles.

The original lifetime merino wool socks from Bass Pro. They still sell them now, but they downgraded the quality and thickness compared to the original ones I bought (as of last year - I haven't checked what's on the shelves this year but assume it's the same).

Fortunately, I own 4 or 5 pairs of the original ones that are still in pretty good condition.

For me, one thing I'm constantly reminded of during season is how much I miss Gorilla Tree Stands. I have several, and wish I had many more. They were great stands for the money and I was very sad when they went away.

Not many moderately priced stands these days…River's Edge are ok, and I will buy more, but I prefer Gorillas.

It's nice to have options between bargain bin junk & super high end "Mobile hunting " choices.

I love gorilla tree stands I actually bought one off a guy brand new for 40 bucks on Facebook market place xop are decent to but my main is a gorilla

Didn't need it very often but I used to have a fleece neck gator that was camo on one side and blaze on the other. I have absolutely no clue where it disappeared to but it is gone. Haven't been able to find another one like it. Some are close but not the same.

I have a Remington fleece neck gator that i would probably quit hunting if i ever lost it.

This is Cabelas's Whitetail Clothing line. Wool and goretex. Parents bought it for me for Christmas when I was in college so sometime from 1991-94. It has to be below 30 for me to wear it.

I have a whitetail extreme parka (1999-2000ish) I believe it is. One of the best jackets I've ever had for cold weather. I can remember wearing it with a t-shirt while riding my 4 wheeler in sub 30 degree weather

I appreciate the offer, but I've basically quit hunting stands these days.

I miss the old Baker climbing stands. There is nothing as exciting as going 20 feet down a tree in about half a second when the stand didn't properly bite into the tree. And for those about to tell me I should have had on a safety harness, we didn't know what those were 40 years ago.

Lost my entire camo collection out of my tailgate last year. In 2008 lost a pair of uninsulated coveralls , best boots ever . Hadn't been able to replace the stuff. Just not the same.

Had a mathews lx that I really was in tune with shooting that got stolen. Never had another bow that I could shoot worth a dang.

Mathews bows before they went to split limb.

Exactly- I remember borrowing one in the early '80s and it scared me to death and I was thinking I wish someone would invent something to tie me to the tree!

I have a couple of gorilla stands that will never be used, if you are interested pm me!
