5 Must Have Gadgets and Gear for 2011

On August 4, 2011, in Deer Hunting Tips, by Whitetail's Country

I dont know about you all but I am a total gadget freak – it doesn’t matter what it is – its the accessories and the add on’s and the extra’s.  I am always willing to try something out and see if I like.  So I went shopping this past weekend as I have a great local store, a Gander Mountain and a Bass Pro Shops – all within about 5 miles of each other.  Kinda makes it tough to not buy something from all of them.  Here are the cool things I picked up that you might be interested in as well.  Bear in mind some are gadgets and some are more like toys (a little more expensive)!

Moultrie M80 Game Camera

Moultrie M80 Mini Game CameraThis is about as great a trail camera as I have owned.  What I love about it is being able to use in plot mode to watch over my secluded pond as well as being able to use it as a regular game camera.  There is also a third option which allows the camera to be used in plot mode all day long and then switch to regular game camera mode at night.  Great pictures and the IR flash has incredible depth and brightness to it with out spooking game.  Check it out and at under $130 or so at most places it cant be beat – Moultrie M80 Game Camera!

 

 

 

Buck Bomb Scrape Tape

Willing to give this one a shot for some early season patterning.  I have regularly seen bucks working the same areas regularly.  Looking to see how well this will work and whether or not it actually will do what I want which is to make the bucks believe another buck is moving in to his territory.  My question is that its synthetic and are synthetics really up to the challenge of mature whitetail bucks?  Buck Bomb Scrape TapeBuck Bomb Scrape Tape

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buck Knives PakLite Fieldmaster

Buck Knives PakLite FieldmasterOk this one I wasnt able to get my hands on but I have more order in with a friend at a distributorship.  Like I said before – you cant have too many knives right!  When I saw these I had to get my hands on them.  My buddy saw these at the SHOT show but they arent available to the public just yet.  This comes with 3 knives, a caper, a skinner and a gut hook.  All skeletal frames and lightweight.  Definitely a must have from Buck Knives!  Check out the knives on Buck Knives website.

 

 

 

 

MTM Broadhead Box

MTM Broadhead BoxWhen you talk about gadgets and add on’s you certainly can lump in trying out multiple broadheads in archery.  But what the heck do you do with the ones not in use?  If you are like me you probably have a small box you toss them in which isnt exactly the best thing.  I did pick up a new case for storing my spare broadheads that I am not using – cheap and easy.

Streamlight ProTac 1L C4 LED Tactical Flashlight

Streamlight ProTac FlashlightCome on who doesnt need another flashlight – its like saying you have too many knives! Flashlights have been becoming absolutely rediculously priced and I wasnt going to spend more than $40 to $50 for a good flashlight.  I have several that are around the 100 lumen mark and thats definetly what I wanted.  the Streamlight ProTac Flashlight was small, lightweight and has 110 lumens – bright enough to blind yourself (or an intruder) but more importantly bright enough to work in the woods at night or look for downed game.  The good news it has a low setting so I dont eat up batteries as fast and its not as bright when moving in to my stand in the morning.  Streamlight ProTac 1L C4 LED Tactical Flashlight
