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?

Not really for us in the last 10 years or so that I can think of.
The things I like are good glass, and thats been around a long time. And good bullets. Those have too, but the advent of Barnes I really love.
A rangefinder and a wind speed meter are tops too.
But we've not bought anythign "new" that I can think of in quite some time.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Whisper biscuit arrow rest and fiber optic sights when they first came out.
I went from painted tip pins and a shark fin style rest. thought I died and went to heaven.

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.

Computer + internet has allowed me to access a wider variety of toys from around the world at very doable prices.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Laser range finder, for me.
Shooting across deep draws to the oppisite ridge, it is a real comfort to know positively whether the distance is 350 yds or 450 yds.
I like to pick a perch and laser surrounding landmarks, then wait for game to walk in front of a boulder or tree which has been recently ranged.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Low light coating and hydrophobic coating in scopes. I guess the range finder help a couple times.

Arial photos and topo maps . I can look up and area and know it before I even get there. Sometimes I can even see deer trails in the marsh grass for areal photos.

Boots. Comfortable boots that are actually warm and waterproof at the same time.
