Last minute!!

Postby Lefty » 08 28, 2016 •  [Post 1]

Thursday after work were headed up.
Ill be putting gear in my hunting pant pocket tonight, Freeze some gator aid, and fill the jugs with water.
There are new batteries are in everything except the range finder, a spare is in the pickup

One thing I do every year is clean and put anti fog on all my glass lenses, range-finder, binos, spotting scope, rifle scope,. camera


Whats on your last minute list?

We still need to put stuff in packs and get the rest of the gear ready.... Going to work on it this afternoon. My wife will be hunting Wednesday afternoon and Thursday and I'm the caller. My ten year old daughter will be going with us on her first hunt.

What do you use to clean you optics?

I ran out of windictator powder yesterday!
What do you guys use to refill it? I'm thinking either baking soda or flour...?

I'm using Clear-View anti-fog and lenses cleaner.

Im using either new wind-indcaor or I filled my near empty with cornstarch. I hear it doesn't cake like flour will. I generally carry two or three. So matter where I reach I have some.

There was a package of Hunter Specialties Elk pac on the steps,.. I have no idea where it came from. Or what ill do with it. The DVD was missing. I dont like the sounds I make with the call, And Im sure not going to wear elk in estrus urine. Hmm I guess I could use it for a coyote trapping lure

EDIT
I saw the label says Kleer -VU

Wind indicator......I use hunters specialties foot powder. It's scent free and I have a feeling that's all it is anyway! :) I also do what lefty does. Put anti fog cleaner on all my glasses.

I'm pretty close. I am going to reposition a tree stand this week and throw up a couple cameras. My opener isn't till the 6th so I still have to sit and watch the clock another week.
