Now that's funny. Garmin Rinos. I've had two Rino's quit on me so far. I went w/o gps, camera, and land ownership this year I was so bent out of shape at Garmin. How the Rino's holding up for you?

After last years successful elk hunt, the Kimber Montana 270 Win and the Barnes 140 gr TSX. I now have a pile of rifles I need to sell.

Hunting the high country in the Pacific Northwest in the rainforest with it's rain and fog, the GPS is a great help making it out without drama.
Laser rangefinder helps, but isn't necessary.
LED flashlites are awesome.
The land ownership chip for the GPS is probably the single most valuable "new" tool for me. One hundred percent agreement!

GPS and all of the free maps/images available on the web. During some of my desktop scouting efforts this year, I could actually see pronghorn scattered in some of the areas I considered.
With the geo-referencing, I can get or guide others to within mere yards of the intended locations.

LED flashlites are awesome. I agree, but specifically, led headlamps. Hands free low-power consumption light that points where you look and isn't cumbersome. Other than that my gear isn't cutting edge unless you count some lightweight, quiet and breathable rain gear. I still use a compass instead of a GPS although I'll probably get one at some point. And on the camping end of it, I still use white gas stoves.

This internet with forums such as this along with photographs of what we did from the new digital cameras.
I have learned and enjoyed hunting stories along with buying products and information most from the 'net'.

Text messaging your hunting buddy. Especially my deaf as FUGG combat arms buddy. Used to have to scream into the phone to let him know deer where moving towards him.

Just looking for some input here, has a newer scope that helped you see later, warmer clothing or something else made an improvement in your hunting lately? Shoes.......

It's been discussed for years but no one has invented it yet...a technique for removing 5 years from my old carcass.

I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"

I would not be able to hunt the 3,600 acre swamp that I do without my Thermacell and I'd be very hesitant to explore new areas of it without the satellite maps on my iPhone.
I've had a bug suit and 100% deer for a long time, and they are no match for the mosquitos in this place when it is above 60 degrees. I've also gotten so turned around in the dark walking to my stand that I've gone 10 minutes back the wrong direction. Not to mention when the water level changes it is a completely different place. +1 for Thermacell
