for a while, you know that if there's one tool I absolutely cannot live without, it's the Onex Hunt app. I use Onex year-round to mark spots, find new properties, access landowner information, and so much more. But throughout the year, I tend to use the app differently depending on what I'm doing. Right now, I'm always using it to double-check stream bank easements in the drift list. and when I'm not doing that, I'm using the slope angle layer to look for pinch points or little knobs that a buck might be betting on.

thanks to the waterproof seat and knee panels paired with the lightweight

breathable body. I'll probably rock the grayling hoodie for the early season and eventually

transition to the Fallon lightweight shirt when the hot late season starts, and all that's

going to be in their tarnin pattern, which I have absolutely fallen in love with over this past year.
