HarvDog Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 ...around your neck when bowhunting? I usually have my rangefinder, binoculars, and grunt call around my neck. Is that too much? I'm always worried this stuff is either going to make too much noise and get in my way while shooting. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antlers21 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: What gear do you wear... when on stand I have nothing around my neck, rangefinder is used to range objects and i know all the distances from certain trees or logs. I have my grunt tube in my chest pocket and binos hang in the tree. I hate having things around my neck, always worry about them getting in the strings way or clanging together when the moment of truth arrives.

GWSmith Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: What gear do you wear... I'm ussually hunting from a treestand. Wearing a HSS harness most of the gear is in my pockets and nothing around my neck. Hunting from the ground I'll have my gear in the fannypack and nothing but a Compass around my neck and thats stuffed down my shirt. I dont want anything that may get in the way of the bow string if I have to lean forward for a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest archer8030 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: What gear do you wear... The only accessory on my body is my binos. I have them on my Crooked Horn Outfitter Bino system. I hang everything else either on my "turkey foot," or on my Realtree bow hanger.

Grunt Tube, range finder, rattle bag, or horns are on the EZ Hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Re: What gear do you wear... Occassionally a rangefinder. Otherwise everything is on a hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billkay Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: What gear do you wear... Binos on Crooked Horn straps, grunt tube tucked under the bino strap, and the rangefinder stuffed down the front of my jacket or shirt. All 3 around the neck, but have never had a problem shooting and my hands and arms stay within the outline of my body when I reach for and use any of them.

wtnhunt Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: What gear do you wear... Have had the same concerns Harv, but have practiced a bit with the binos and a grunt call around my neck just before heading back on my walk to the stand. Honestly I am more concerned when taking a shot when I have extra clothes on and try to pay close attention to that now. Have had my string slap my parka before causing me to miss a really nice 8 pointer a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
