While watching hunting shows you are sure to see new products hitting the market seemingly on a daily basis. There's the new scopes that will take pictures of your view, and the new rifle that's almost guaranteed to make you a better hunter, the new flashlight that makes it impossible to miss that evasive blood trail and all the other magical items you just have to have to be successful.....at least according to the commercials. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing bad about having any of this stuff and some of it really can give you an advantage. However, if buying that new doomahicky isn't in the budget, don't let it keep you out of the field. All the hype can make you wonder how anyone ever survived before there were grocery stores. Our ancestors definitely weren't hunting with all these newfangled "necessities."
In truth, a successful hunt depends more on your preparation than any gadget or gizmo you can buy at the sporting goods store or from those infomercials. Sure those new items are cool and fun to have around, but they really aren't necessary for success. If you have a rifle or a bow that you are comfortable with shooting and some basic camouflage you can be successful as long as you do your homework and set up in the right place. Smart hunting is the true key to success.
