    I have an old Huntec swanni I bought early in 1995 with a my first pay from a job I had on a diary farm. Its getting pretty thin now but I reckon I'll keep until it falls off. I tried to hunt with a replacement just once and it didn't feel right at all. Someone ended up with a bargain on a new top. Probably more sentimental than lucky.

    Sunblock is deer repellent.

    my few public land deer have all been shot when i forgot sunblock. Yet to shoot a deer while wearing sunblock.
    But me being a ranga not getting burnt is a high priority..

    Don't sharpen my knife before a hunt. Always do it after the hunt.

    Yeah I've seen the photos of you. It would appear you have ten of everything when it comes to hunting gear
