Tools of our trade.

[PLS]

Like I said in another thread, getting ready for arrowhead hunting is one of my six hobbies. A lot of FNG's (no offense, just like movie quotes) want to see how others are hunting.

We've seen the Water Turkey, now let's see your favorite tools of our trade. Wiggle picks, trucks, boats, paint scrapers, shovels, old waders...favorite thong swimsuit...anything we can learn from or laugh at to beat the hot weather.

Here's a pic of my favorite tool...the Swamp Donkey. Better known as a Yamaha Grizzly 700.

I've got the same 4 wheeler PLS. I like it but it runs hot and doesn't go near as many places as our 250 recon that was stolen.

That's a must. My favorite pair are my old Lacrosse lightweight bird hunting boots with 8" tops. Those higher tops keep the small rocks and sand out. They also provide a little protection/peace of mind around snakes and thorns when I have to take to the bank. They are light enough that I think I could swim with them on.

Other things I don't go without: zip lock bags, skoal, and a gerber hatchet and cooler on the back of the Swamp Donkey. The hatchet comes in handy for when I forget my flipping stick.
