New Hunting Products

[mzldr4life]

Just sitting here thinking at work on how to tap into the hunting business. I know after setting in a tree stand all day, a duck blind, finding mushrooms, fishing, whatever it is; there is always a lot that goes through a guys mind. Everyone seems to have the "million dollar idea" but it seems impossible to execute/follow through with. Basically what I am getting at is: What would make your life easier/more enjoyable in the outdoors? What have you come across that you would like to see changed? I have been doing a lot of research into product reviews and what people are complaining about, but I am interested to hear your thoughts/complaints about products that you use. Good luck to everyone heading out this weekend for first shotgun season, hope everyone stays safe.

I've had a tough time finding a semi-automatic 20 gauge shotgun with a cantilevered smooth bore slug barrel, or a combination of said slug barrel and bird barrel.

For some reason this made me think of the acorn kruncher HS put out a while back.

And the buttout, which I have and tried, but I think I did it wrong

I am pretty unimpressed with how climbing sticks are designed to attach to each other and to portable stands. Attaching them as most are designed is way too loud, annoying and they take up too much room. I side stack mine and carry them in with a bow holder type sling anymore. I have been thinking of drilling a hole inline through all 4 so I can run a small bolt through and put a wing nut on one side to secure them rock solid. As it is, the little strap they give you with the sticks to tighten them together hardly holds them tight at all.
My tree stand partly serves as a frame backpack on long hikes in and I tie my rolled up layers to it and attach my backpack to it as well. It would be nice to see some design go into this functionality of the tree stand as most people who hang and hunt use it in this fashion. On long hikes in it's a pain to strap everything down and there's no great way to do it.
My lone wolf stuff is also extremely loud, if you accidentally bump them together. This year I cut 3M grip tape and coated all the edges and corners that could possible bang together. Helped a bit and held up to the weather well.
