When Did Hunting and Fishing Gear Get So Complicated? | MOE Podcast #90
About this episode
This episode discusses the evolution and increasing complexity of hunting and fishing gear.
There was a time when choosing hunting or fishing gear was pretty simple. A good rifle, a dependable scope, a fly rod that felt right in your hand and that was about it.Today it feels different.Endless options, endless features, and gear that seems to get more complicated every year. From rifle scopes with exposed turrets and dozens of reticle options to fly rods, reels, and lines designed for every specific situation, it’s easy to feel like the industry has gone a little overboard.So when did it happen?In this episode we talk about how the buying of hunting and fishing gear evolved, why it became so specialized, and whether all that complexity is actually helping us in the field...or just making things harder than they need to be.Sometimes simpler really is better. Enjoy!#huntinggear #fishinggear #flyfishing #riflescopes #outdoorgear #hunting #fishing
