Don’t need it, but the Stryker is basically what I wanted in a bag to begin with and fits my MO: have camp bag, leave at camp, hunt with daypack capable of packing meat.

I have a reckoning now and it’s great, just big.

Not sure which broadheads you've been using, but I switched to Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts years ago and haven't looked back. Sharp, fly great, strong, and the best customer service in the business.

I shot Muzzy 100s this year, but I believe they are quite a few years old. Just time to step it up in that department. I had one get stuck in a shoulder blade from 18 yards, with almost no penetration, so that was a little disappointing.

A wall tent and stove.
Might try to trade off the 4runner for a sidekick or quad.
New gaiters, undecided on brand and model.
Maybe a new scope for the old rusty 30-06. Every year I look at buying a new rifle in some fancy new racing calibre with all kinds of lightweight bells and whistles...then I go get the old remington 30-06 that dad gave me for my 16th birthday out of the safe, wipe the lenses of the bushnell 3-9 off, and go put meat in the freezer. There have been opportunities in my life, where young, attractive women have thrown themselves at me...but I know my wife loves me and will make me breakfast, and cook my eggs properly. That's kinda how I feel about my old rifle.

The new F-250 gas trucks look to be pretty cool, would def like to see one. I have a 2008 Cummins built as a prerunner, but would like to re-work the bed for more functionality in hunting/camping. I wish I wouldn't have chopped the bed up for a suspension bed cage. I'm Bumped and strapped at 13" travel up front, 18" in rear on Fox 3.5 triple bypasses.

My wish list this year is
-3/4 person tent (Kelty or better)
-.223 AI bolt gun (build in progress)
-Sell/trade my custom 6.5 CM for a lighter weight hunting rifle
-Sell my 71 FJ, Wife's Volvo, and a motorcycle to free up funds for more hunting trips.

I can't seem to move from my old 30-06 ADL my Dad left me. It took quite a few Aoudad last year in the company of rifles with several thousand invested and it hung in there just fine.

Picked up a garmin inreach explorer over the holiday sales. Looking to upgrade my rain gear, find a topper for my tundra. I’m too tall for sleeping in the backseat so looking to set up sleeping quarters in my box. My goal is to worry less about my gear and double up my time in the field scouting, shooting, and just enjoying the great outdoors.
