The oldest I have is a double barrel .410 sxs that was made April 1915 that I hunt rabbit and squirrel with a lot. But the oldest I have that I've had the longest is a Schrade 142 my dad bought for me the year I was born. It was when they were made with good steel. I usually clean at least on deer a year with it. It's 29 years old

The oldest piece is a 12 guage 870 Wingmaster that my dad bought used and I bought it from him in about 1973 for $60. I've shot thousands of shells through it, back when I dove hunted a lot. That's pretty much the only shotgun I have used except turkey hunting since then. I've killed deer, rabbit, squirrel, dove, quail and pheasant with it. I don't do that type of hunting much any more. So I've had it 44 years.

Regarding deer hunting, I have a Western Cutlery knife that a friend gave me in about 1980 that I have carried on almost every deer hunt since then. I've gutted and skinned several deer with it. It is a great knife that sharpens good and has good metal in it. That's about 37 years worth of use. Older than most folks on here these days.

Picked up a sawtooth oak acorn about 10 years ago when i first started hunting. I only bring it with me when i feel like i will have good luck. Usually first week of bow season and a few days in the rut. Killed three mounters with it in my pocket and my first few does with my bow.

Been hunting with the same Browning rifle since 1996 and the same Browning hydrofleece since 2005. Have my orignal ol man stand from 1992 although I haven't used it in a few years.

I turkey hunt with my first shotgun (Winchester 1300 NWTF 20) I was given on Christmas of 1989.

Still wear the same orange vest I got for my first deer hunt back in '99. My wife had to re-sew new elastic on the sides because the original lost elasticity...definitely not that I've gotten fatter or anything... cool

Also have an original Treelounge tree stand that I killed my first deer out of that same year...'99

My dad's old BAR. He bought it in '72 and gave it to me on Father's Day a few years ago. He passed along the owners manual and price tag that was on it from Western Auto.

My Granddad's old Schrade knife. He bought it not long before he went to Korea and gave it to me in 1979. It's in my backpack for every hunt. Blades are wore down so short it's getting hard to open these days when you close it the nail grooves are almost in the handle
