Worked
-Winchester Long Beard XR 5 shot. Patterns better in my gun than Super-X 6 shot, and was pleased with results on 2 turkeys
-Montec G5 100 gr. continue to impress. Busted humerus on 2 deer with great body penetration
-Switched from TP to wet wipes. Perhaps the best benefit is a convenient way to wash my hands when afield.
Didn’t Work
-Puffy jacket and pants as an inside layer. Too much dinking around to layer up and down. I have moved from size M to size L puffies so I can wear as an exterior layer instead
-Still trying to figure out a good gaiter/boot combo for creek crossings. OD Verglass are too light for IA terrain dominated by burs and briars. I’m trying out Kennetrek gaiters which seem more stout. Also in the market for new boots, plan to try on some Crispis at Scheels as a starting point.
-Cheap tree stand harness that came with the stand. After 25 years in a tree stand I’m ready for a quicker, safer, more comfortable upgrade.
Non-gear
