Best answer:
Answer by Trust and Believe
Sometimes my optics fog up, but I am too cheap to go for the expensive scopes. Make me an affordable scope that is just as good as the expensive ones, and i will buy it.

in South Africa you dont need gear…if your feet work you know how to navigate with the sun and your gun is loaded your a successful hunter….if you hunt you dont need equipment

From my own personal experience, I have found that some of the equipment you can buy, for example: tree stands, clothing and optics all look good in the store. The merchandise as displayed in the store or magazines doesn’t always give the results you are looking for.
Examples:
Elevated tree stand equipment, it looks big enough until you try and use it and then you find out you may be too big for the space allowed between the hardware making it difficult to use and very awkward or dangerous to use. Or maybe the platform is way too small and the time you spend on it may be very trying, uncomfortable and not too safe. So be sure you examine the equipment thuroughly befoe buying and be sure to try it out, (set it up), before going out into the woods.
Clothing, if to tight can be very restrictive, be sure to give yourself enough room to accommodate addition clothing when cold and comfort while carrying your equipment.
Optics, do research and go and try out a few of the optics that are available and to simulate your actual situations. Scopes on rifles and pistols, binoculars, spotting scopes and range finders offer may price ranges but the least expensive is not always best for your needs. Do your research before buying.

A lot of hunters always wish for a 5 fingered glove that is warm and provides the ability to shoot there rifle with precision. It would be nice for a cowl to fit on a gun that we could put a light glove on and then slip inside that cowl for the long shots.
Range finders are still pretty expensive and still pretty crude with limitations on nonreflective targets.
Here is a wild idea. An arrow with a GPS tag. Most Deer run after being shot with an arrow and sometimes that arrow stays with them. This would improve the chances of tracking game especially with bow season in nonsnowy seasons.

I really like the idea of a gps tagged arrow.
Comfortable waterproof WARM boots!! So many companies claim their boots are waterproof, so many claim their boots are warm, try finding a pair that are both waterproof & warm, that are actually comfortable!
Shooters gloves that actually allow the wearer to use thier firearm.
I would really like an effective set of in the ear electronic hearing protection that does what it should do. Amplifies ambient sound and cuts off high decibel sounds. Over the ear electronic hearing protection actually does this, but try getting your head behind a scope with those things on.
Non prescription amber polarised glasses! Why hasn’t anyone invented these yet??
Truly scent free bug repellant that works! Why hasn’t anyone invented that too!
Cloth that repells cockleburrs. Thats not really high on the list, but it’s still a pain in the bum to pick off those dang things.

I’ll agree with the post that boots are a problem. I keep my hunting outfit simple, but good boots are essential no matter what you hunt or where. I’m a big guy — 6 feet 5 inches and 245 pounds — with feet to match, so cheap boots aren’t usually a choice for me because they don’t exist in the size 14 or 15 I need. Even with costlier boots, I have trouble with boot tongues that don’t stay put and eyelets that pull out. Warmth usually isn’t a problem for me, but I’m not hunting in an extremely cold climate. It’s rare for me to have to deal with weather colder than mid-teens Fahrenheit. I also would love it if you could come up with a boot design with the good walking characteristics of an upland boot but with better waterproofing. The country I hunt has dry uplands and wet lowlands and a lot of walking, so a boot that handles both would be great.

Well, I don’t use anything “fancy”.
I don’t even use the scent hiders… just me, a leather jacket, a couple of shells jammed carelessly in my pocket, and one of my rifles or shotguns… sometimes the Redhawk takes a trip with me.
Unless you get into computerized blah blah blah with the tuned blah blibber blah, you’re not going to have a problem.
