Didn't realize how picky I am, couldn't come up with a single item.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Step in a cow pie and rub some crushed cedar leaves on ya and you're good to go. I believe that was Winston Burnhams favorite cover scent.

Some of the Game Winner brand that Academy sells. Their deluxe soft bow case is a great case! Especially for around 50 bucks.

I also break a small cedar branch off and brush myself down with it, sometimes grab a handful of dirt to cleanse any smell of my hand. Have a clothes wire running between two trees to air my clothes out with, sometimes I will spray them with cover scent when hanging.

To answer the question; I will buy a knock off if I think it is the same quality product for a lot better value up

If you wear rubber boots, pee on them.

RTIC instead of a Yeti.
WalMart no name brand camo. Mine gets torn up busting brush and climbing barb wire fences, so buying more expense brands and worrying that patterns match doesn't make much sense.
Savage over Remington or Tikka.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I buy a lot of Midway.com clothes. They are great quality, and when you get them off season they are cheap. Also their military surplus stuff. Good quality and dirt cheap.

Yep, same here. Cheap camo is the way to go as long as it fits.

probably just a name brand hunting boot. I have had a pair of Genesis Lacrosse boots for around 15 years and they are still in great shape.

My dad watching hunting shows and after sponsors have eat up majority of time he will ask me...How did we ever kill deer?They say deer are sensitive to the color blue and strange noise will alert them. I killed a deaf and color blind deer about 20 years ago south of Ozona, I was in old Dodge diesel that was blue and silver...or maybe natural selection took place!

I agree on the Game Winner stuff. I've had good luck with it and I'm actually looking at a GW heavy duty rifle case right now and leaning heavily that direction.

Other than guns, optics, feeders and corn/feed I don't buy any "hunting" products. I don't even have "hunting" boots, most the time its crocs or flip flops.

I'm really only brand loyal at the grocery store. Hunting gear, i look for deals, get online and use the comments to make a decision on what I'm looking for. I am not a rich man so my main hunting rifles are all Mossberg, 22, 308 and 20g. My camo is the $2-$5 shirts and pants Walmart sells after hunting season.

Game Winner from Academy is a good brand as is RedHead, the BPS store brand.

Though, I will admit that I am a brand snob.
