Any new gear you tried this past hunting season?
Since hunting seasons are mostly over for the bulk of us, post up any new gear you tried this year, good or bad.
I picked up my first pair of Danner Pronghorns, apparently a newer design for this year, I am replacing a pair of Wolverines the are pretty tore up inside but still solid outside. The Danners wear great right out of the box, I had no break in in them and wore them right to and at the gym on the treadmill getting ready for elk season, was able to keep up with MHS in some pretty warm weather without any blisters, bought a pair for my oldest also and his experience was the same.
I also used muzzleloaders for the first time this year and was very happy with accuracy using Blackhorn 209 powder, Hornandy SST's, Hornady Great Plains lead bullets, and Powerbelts. My oldest took his first deer ever with the muzzleloader this year.

Also Cabelas, Outfitter Berber Fleece. Awesome. It's every bit as warm as my $$$$ hunting parka, with about half the bulk, and 0 noise.
Probably the best coat for bow hunting I've ever tried.
I keep hearing good stuff about this.
Waterfowl gear?
Ahh, just foul gear:)
I bought a set of Danner Pronghorns on clearance (last year's design) and am extremely pleased with the weight and comfort.
Also, I re-tried a tool that I thought sucked the first time, but it turned out to be user error: the Butt-out rectum removal tool. As it turns out, they really do mean to only use a quarter turn before pulling it back out and guess what? It worked like magic when you actually follow the directions.
Finally took a deer with the .454 SRH, and also whacked one with the .45Colt suppressed rifle. Both worked flawlessly

They're convenient and cost about $5.00. I have them on all my hunting rifles now. Also, as I keep them full of ammo, I don't have to worry about leaving the ammo at home when I go hunting.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
You go deciding you ever wanna get rid of that gun........you let me know.

I took 4 deer using it this year.
Only thing is want to do is get another to run sans scope

Great idea. I haven't scoped mine, yet. I want to, but like it with irons. Just get a second one!!
Do it.
One of my staff got her spouse an electronc caller, no range report yet other that it brought a bunch of crows into range.
Did you post the post-mortem? I don't remember seeing it.
