Top 10 Deer Hunting Gear You Need For Hunting Season
Hunting season is upon us. Killing deer, squirrels, alligators, turkeys and other gain animals is what makes me feel like a man. Growing up in Waco, Texas is kinda city living. So my dad, brothers, and I would drive out to Meridian to go hunt on a ranch. One thing my father preached to us was to have good gear, be safe, and always carry a pocket knife on you at all times. Unless you are going through an airport.
- Operates on 2 ‘AAA’ batteries
- Helps protect ears from hearing damage
Protecting your ears while shooting any kind of gun is extremely important. You might think that hearing the ringing in your ears after bullets have been fired sounds cool, but you could be damaging your ears. Once you damage your ears you can’t undo the damages!
- Holds 9 cartridges for easy-access
- Stretches to fit most rifle holders
Missing a deer because you couldn’t get your bullets out in time would be a huge disappointment. So whenever I go deer hunting I keep a holder filled with bullets attached to my rifle.
Camo jackets and pants are basically a requirement for hunting. I wouldn’t dare leave the campsite without wearing camo from head to toe. That’s like asking a deer to run away.
- Covers face, noise, mouth, and neck.
- Unisex size – works well for men and women
Take it a little step further and get a thermal fleece camo balaclava. In the mornings it is going to be really cold and you will want that extra protection against the wind chills.
- Adjustable wrist design for optimal support
Going back to staying warm. I even have a pair of military outdoor gloves that help keep my hands warm. You would be surprised with how many other guys I know that waste time keeping their hands in their pockets. Then when a deer comes they are in a rush trying to get their fingers on the trigger. So get you a nice pair of gloves so you can keep your hand near the trigger at all times.
- Records in HD
- Long lasting battery with an energy efficient design
If you ever wanted to relive the moment of a sweet victory, then get yourself a little stealth camera. I started making a little movie every year from random video footage of our campsite and deer stands just for the fun of it. Surprisingly it came in handy, because we could see where the deer are actually coming from and where the hotspots were to build a deer stand.
Communication is key when you are hunting or at least holding a gun. Accidents and critical moments can happen so easily and so fast. So being able to reach people when you need to is extremely important. So say you catch a deer and need help lifting it, then you just page your buddy to come lend a hand.
- Weather resistant
- Gear pouch
- Holds up to 200 lbs
Don’t be too cheap when choosing a seat. Find a seat that is going to be comfortable but also portable. If you’re like me you will be moving from stand to stand trying to find the perfect spot. So have a chair that you can easily take when you.
CenterPoint makes great crossbows that have a pretty good range. The thing I like about crossbows is that they don’t make a sound. So if you are on the ground and there is a pack of deer in front of you. You can easily get at least three right in a row.
Set up your rifle with on a bipod. These come in handy when you want to keep your aim good and steady. You can adjust the height with a click of a button. It has strong springs support and foot padding to work on any surface.
