The only hunting rifle I own is a Husqvarna .270. I'm not sure how old it is, but I think it is 1950's or 60's. I guess that would be the oldest piece of hunting gear I have.

If I'm going on a sure enough doe killing I will take one of my dads case knife he carried in the late 70s-99 (he quit hunting regularly).

I've got one of my grandfathers knives that stays in my truck at all times.

I still use a lynch world champion box call my dad gave me around 1980 when we started turkey hunting together. Also still wear the first turkey vest he gave me about the same time.
Never thought about replacing either one.

Not counting a gun, I have a jacket that is at least 20 years old. Don't use it that often any more but it's still in good shape and fits so I keep it.

1991 Browning twist-lok quiver on the bow. The mount bracket doubles as a bow hanger on my treestands. But I am pulling out my 1974 (+/- 1 yr) .222 Savage soon.

I had a pair of mossy oak gloves that were about a 1990 model. They were my lucky turkey hunting gloves and I lost them 3 years ago. I went back and looked everywhere for them to no avail. I still wish I had those things.

Other than that I occasionally shoot an 1969 A5 that was my dad's.

knife I bought when I was 16 years old. I am now 55. Still my go to knife. So 40 yr old piece of gear. and had to run home and ask Mom for $10 to buy it! lol!

And as I was getting ready to hit post, dawned on me. A 22 Remington rifle Dad bought me when I was 8. Still have it and a go to squirrel/rabbit rifle. 48 yrs old! dang. wife is right, I AM getting old!

PS - did you mean oldest item I got originally new and still use? If so, see above. If, otoh, you mean oldest piece period, I have a rifle and a shotgun that are 90 odd years old each. Win Mdl 12 16 ga (1926) and Rem Mdl 14 (1928)! And a bunch of '50s era guns

A pair of original Realtree camo "Polar Tuff" pants I got 30 years ago. They were too big then but I wore them. They still fit, amazingly. I only wear them when it's REALLY cold.

My wife replaced the zipper about 15 years ago. I still have the jacket too, but it's way too small.

I still use a welded treestand I bought in 1987 for bowhunting.
About 97' I bought another stand that I still use for rifle hunting. Always kept in the shop when I'm not sitting in it.

Model 7600 pump.308 bought in the 90's


I bought an ATV to get to my hunting area, now half the fun of hunting is the ride in and out.

Don't laugh too much, but I have a "dickey". For those that don't know what that is, it is a sweater type material neck gaiter, but it has a flap on the front and back that tucks inside your shirt. I'm 54 and have had it since I was a kid. Really keeps the wind out.
