No bows or arrows, just something you take with you, every time you go.

For me, it's a device called The Booger. I picked it up at the Ohio Deer & Turkey Expo, over 25 years ago, for $20. It's always in my gear bag and I never hunt without it. I've used it to retrieve a hat, single arrow, release, etc. Just tie it on my bow retrieval line, set it and drop it on the item, from about a foot over it. It'll grab hold, like a leg hold trap....but not as hard.

Have been around archery for 60+ years & have never seen that one. I had made some thing similar to it with a small stick in the jaws to hold open & worked great.

TP. I have countless sandwich baggies with it inside in just about every pack, duffel, dash pocket, door pocket, etc. I'm hoping Monte Hall walks up and asks me someday. May win a prize.

I bet someone could 3D print that. Or surely there's been a suitable substitute manufactured since then. Google time. Cool little "grapple/clamp". 👍

That thing is awesome! I'd love to catch a squirrel with it.

The OPs little "claw" there got me searching. The Mantis Claw pops up in a search. Larger footprint of the Booger but small and lightweight.

This is now on my must have list. It's not that I'm clumsy, it's just, well, I'm clumsy

That pocket seat looks comfortable.

That thing almost looks fun. I'd probably find myself "dropping" items and retrieving them to pass time in the stand

I'm gonna bring the "Pooper Pusher" back to life to. The name alone is gold.

Great, this thread just turned into a bino harness topic. 🙄 There's always "that one guy"😉. What? No TP in that harness? Two rolls fit in mine and my RYO tether carries the bino just fine.

My favorite piece of archery gear is my can of Copenhagen… it’s breath camo so the deer can’t smell my halitosis… it works…. See pic below… spot n stalk… a dip in each cheek…
