What piece of gear are you most attached to?

I have a grunt tube that's brought in a lot of bucks to their death. I love all my stuff, but that tube is magic.

Oh no, not lettin you off that easy, especially when I’m in your region! What’s the brand of call that you like?
 
It's called a Vermont ridge runner. I bought it over twenty years ago. I used the rubber portion of a True Talker call and put it over the tube on my VRR. It has an acrylic body wrapped in camo tape. I have the tone set for a smaller buck so its not deep and scary.

My Snap Dragem deer drag All the gear i have used and changed and what not and that ol drag has been around probably 25 years.Been in a many deer and hog snout.
 
The one piece of gear that I’m absolutely most attached to, is my original Wraptor saddle custom made by @Bwhana! I’ll never give it up, and there is no knock off replacement!

Hands down its my Kestrel. I am one to acquire things. Climbing methods, rappelling gear, platforms, ring of steps, packs, etc. but I know for certain there isn’t a better saddle out there for me. No need for another one. Just wish I would have snagged another one before AH gave that model the boot.

Like the original poster.....my speedy stitcher has built most of my stuff and can make future projects....the "gear" thing that I think really helps(at least while bow hunting, which I prefer) is the ezv.....I can shoot a pin but for whatever reason that sight gives me much more confidence and I am more accurate with it.
I'm pretty addicted to permethrin too

I love the ezv sight. Took care of my target panic
 
For some reason my 2014 Hoyt Charger is one of those things that I just can't consider getting rid of.
It's nothing special, but has been a great piece of gear ...... so far.

I bought it new, killed a pile of deer with it, tinkered with it, upgraded parts and keep the quiver full of FMJ arrows.
I guess I will stick with it as long as it works.

I have a 15' Charger. I bought it loaded new. Only original thing is the quiver. Haven't felt much of a need to upgrade. Hell, the new Torrex looks almost identical.
 
I don't know that I get emotionally attached to any gear but I'll say my hiking boots. Lowa Renegades, I go through a pair about every other year. When it gets too cold or too wet for those I get pissy because my winter and rubber boots are not comfortable to hike in.
 
A set of rattling horns that came from a deer my grandfather shot in 1985. It was the first deer he ever shot with a bow, and there was an even cooler story behind the hunt. The mount deteriorated and he moved to the beach and gave me the horns. They are probably a little too big to use in the woods, but the story behind them makes me forget that. I cut off the small little brow tines, wrapped the bases with paracord, and made a lanyard. I wont ever use anything else.
 
Mine would most definitely be my Leupold Vendetta Rangefinder. I am not one of those guys that can guess yardage within inches. I missed quite a few deer prior to using rangefinders and was thrilled when they came out with one that could bow mount. Does it add weight? You bet. Has it helped me take more deer? 100% for sure.
