Best Hunting Tool?

[monsterbuck07]

What do you feel is the best tool that you use for hunting? In the past two years I finally got a pair of binoculars that had good glass, it has been amazing to me how much more convenient it is to look through them to watch deer over a long period of time. Also, Deer sighting went up because while scanning a woodline I would notice deer that I usually would not have noticed.

What item do you feel has benefited you the most in the woods?

What kind did you go with?

Let me rephrase that...it is good glass to me! This is just a 10x42 Bushnell pair. They are very clear, do not fog in rainy or cold weather, and was only around $125.

I’m going with climbing sticks and saddle. I hunt trees where I want now instead of where I could before.

Trail cameras have completely changed how I hunt.

3) Good binoculars

Trail Cameras! Before them I was happy killing 110-120 in bucks. With trail cams I found out what I was really missing.

Aerial maps. Without a doubt, the best thing that has happened for my hunting.

Good binoculars
Shooting stick
Hand and toe warmers

 

[Urban_Hunter]

Aluminum Climbing stand, without doubt

Hand held gps. I can walk directly to my stand or any new place I find without bumbling around in the woods. I normally look for a new spot on my walks out after a hunt. I mark the tree with a bright eye and drop a waypoint. And to that end, bright eyes are a great hunting tool. I can go back the next day, next week, next month or next year and find the same tree. I normally name the waypoint something to help my memory and add a number that corresponds with how many notches the tree takes for my Summit Viper cables.

Outside of a weapon...

Summit aluminum climbing stand
Trail Cameras (so I have some idea what I am hunting and what I want to pass)
Modern warm clothing

I'd say those 3 things have helped me more than anything else.

Next on the list would probably be Topo maps

add a number that corresponds with how many notches the tree takes for my Summit Viper cables.

That's a good idea. I always put the number of "bright eyes" on the tree I'm going to climb that corresponds with how many notches/knots the tree takes for my Summit Goliath cables. I love getting to the tree and not having to try and guess how to set the cable. I am the only person, that I knew, that did something like that...until I read your post.

Yep beat me to it. :tu:

Other than weapon I’d have to go with binoculars, hand warmer, or weather app on my phone for keeping up with the wind directions.

A good climbing stand.
Top grade binoculars and scopes.
Merino wool and cashmere base layers. I finally got away from synthetics.
