My challenge to you

[redsquirrel]

I challenge you to not buy a new piece of gear this season. More likely than not you have equipment that is better than you had even 5 years ago and more than good enough to help you kill whitetails.

In place of new gear purchases I propose you spend an extra XX number of days in the woods this post season scouting. This will bring you more success next fall than your next purchase.

*Replacement items like arrows, broadheads, strings, new boots for the ones that leak are permitted, etc.

Best of luck!

I will try. Got a set of JX3 sticks delivered yesterday. But honestly don’t NEED a lot. I’ve spent quite a bit on gear the past few years without much to show for it. It’s time to burn some gas and boot leather.

Look…. As a guy who has financed his kids college by selling to saddlehunters. I oppose this message

Mission accomplished already. I don't think I changed anything in 2023 that I spent money on. I did swap a back up Predator for a back up EDP but that was it in 2023. My goal is to do that again in 2024.

I’m in. No large purchases. Not gonna lie, kinda feels the same as when I quit chewing.

I shoulda asked before I went all in, but this challenge doesn’t count for stuff you buy on the classifieds here right?

Haha. That depends if it falls into the equipment replacement category.

I haven’t bought crap since November…I spent enough in November on a new bow setup I don’t need to spend anything else. I also spend a lot of time chasing my buddies skwrel dog around the woods in late season, and with turkey season around the corner I’ll spend a bunch more time looking at travel routes, old rub lines, etc. When you average 8 miles a day looking for a workable turkey you tend to find a lot of sign.

I’m in but, I do plan on building a new recurve with my dad. New stickbows don’t count, right?

Lol. I used it once in the woods. I need to practice with it more in the offseason to see if I can get comfortable with it. It still may find a place in my system but I don’t see myself giving up my stepps. They’re too adaptable.

 

[Dmathews87]

[Sbrammer]

OK but starts today. The first part of this new year doesn't count. Lol!

If you build it, it definitely doesn’t count.
