There is a guy on here that is good at spending my money, the best item this year after all said and done has to be the Kenetreks once I got them broke in.

I added a few this year, but the best one to be tested was a .308 savage I traded for with a Nikon 3x9x40 BDC Already sighted in (we bench shot tested it) that my daughter shot her first deer with.  :tup:

I got the same but haven't even got to try it out yet, nice addition to the VX-6 2-12 CDS I got last year

Cabelas MT050 Guide Gortex rain gear both tops and bottoms. I hunted more days in rain this year than not, and packed meat most of those days and I was extremely happy with how the clothing performed. Kept me dry, cool, and comfortable. It was expensive but worth every penny in my mind.

Bibs or pants?  I picked up a pair of the bibs on closeout, haven't put them to the test yet!

Bee Stinger 10" Sport Hunter Xtreme Kit.   Upgraded after using my old stabilizer for 15 years and multiple repairs.  Really like the double stabilizers for balance and never had any issues when busting brush this fall.

May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Does it work? :yike:

My new toy, a Baikal 20 ga sxs shotgun. Best gun I've bought in a long time. Ejectors, chokeable barrels, barrels that are aligned, selectable trigger, automatic saftey, full set of chokes, shoots like a dream, handles like a four figure gun
catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright
