Okay, maybe the magazines will tell you about them, but I've come up with some great ideas that I haven't read about. Over the years I've owned just about every kind of hunting gear, gun, etc. that's known to man. But after years and years of that I've found that there are some little tips and tricks that I've heard about or come up with on my own that just make life easier or at the very least save me some money. I thought it'd be good to hear some of yours and maybe add to my mental collection.

Just Plain Old Good Ideas
Here are a couple of mine...nothing fancy or new mind you, just something that has helped out in different situations.
1. A little tiny bit of milspec reflective tape scotch taped to your arrows just in front of the fletchings. I read this some where a while ago. Trying to find your arrow in the dark after a shot is a snap. That stuff glows like the sun with even a little flashlight pointed at it.
2. I quit messing with pop up blinds a long time ago. They're awkward and hard to take down most of the time. I went to Walmart years ago and bought two 4 X 12 rolls of camo material. Super lightweight, rolls up neatly. I don't have to worry about finding a flat spot or anything. I just thumbtack them around 3 or 4 trees and it gives way more room than an outhouse or other prefab blind. I can comfortably fit me and my two sons inside the four "walls" and we're perfectly concealed. And I can take it down, pack 'em up, and be walking to the truck in less than 30 seconds.
