A Checklist of Hunting Gear Essentials
SHARE

Long gone are the times when hunting served as one of the primary means of procuring sustenance. Today, it boasts a wide array of functions. A mere hobby for some, a lifestyle for others, a source of food for few – the options are numerous. Modern hunting is very different from one that took place even some hundred years ago. Hunters now have a plenitude of gear and equipment that can make their trips more comfortable, efficient, and safe. However, the importance of having the right hunting gear cannot be overstated. Choosing the right essentials can make all the difference between a pleasant trip and a weekend disaster. Our sports store drew up a list of hunting essentials that should definitely keep you company.

Hunting Essentials

Hunting Apparel

First things first, you need to dress up. When it comes to hunting apparel, there are several factors that may determine your choice. Depending on the season and location, you may need a lightweight, breathable shirt and pants or a three-layered clothing system. You may also need a hat and gloves to keep your head and hands warm. There is also the matter of game. Different types of camouflage can either help you merge with the surroundings (as much as possible) or break up your silhouette. The first is effective against animals good at discerning colors, while the second helps with animals that rely on detecting movement.

Hunting Boots

Hunting is not a walk in the park unless it’s a national park and you came there to hunt. A good pair of hunting boots is essential to keep your feet protected and comfortable during the trip. We wouldn’t call hunting boots a standalone category. Any boots designed for rugged terrain and prolonged use will do the trick. 

Backpack

Mentioning a backpack on the list of essentials is basically playing Captain Obvious, but we couldn’t simply leave it out. Besides, a hunting backpack is not your ordinary backpack. The ones you see people wearing every day, storing laptops and water bottles won’t do. You need a backpack that has enough space to store your gear and whose compartments are arranged so you can keep your gear organized.

Hunting Knife

A reliable hunting knife is crucial for field dressing and preparing your game for transport. Or marking your way through the woods. Or a hundred other possible applications, the imagination is your only limit. Choose a knife with a fixed blade and a comfortable grip. If your storage space doesn’t allow for a fixed-blade knife, a pocket version should be enough.

Flashlight

A flashlight is an essential tool for navigating in low-light conditions and for tracking a wounded animal if necessary. You never know where the evening might catch you, and navigating in complete darkness is problematic, to say the least. Bring extra batteries and keep your flashlight in an easily accessible compartment in your backpack.

Insect Repellent

Insects are a common nuisance during hunting trips, especially if you are hunting waterfowl. Choose a repellent that is effective and safe for use in the environment. You might apply it beforehand, but those tend to wear off after a while, so it’s always better to have one with you.

First Aid Kit

In the wilderness, no one can hear you scream. Because there is no one there and no one will help you. Grim predictions aside, it’s better to be self-sufficient when it comes to first aid. Pack bandages, disinfectant, pain relievers, and any other necessary medication, prescribed ones included.

Compass or GPS

A compass with a map can help you navigate in unfamiliar territory and ensure you don’t get lost, given you know how to use them. A GPS is generally a safer choice, but it’s reliant on service.

Game-Specific Gear

Deer Hunting

You can hunt deer in a number of ways. One of them includes using decoys and scent attractors. However, even if you are a fan of traditional spot-and-stalking, a scent eliminator is a must. Deer can smell you from a mile away, wind assisting, so you’d want to stop smelling human for the time of your hunt.

Duck Hunting

Blinds, decoys, and game calls are all regular attributes of a waterfowl hunter. Through their combined efforts, you can lure ducks and mallards thus increasing (or acquiring) chances for a fruitful hunt.

Big Game Hunting

If you plan to shoot your game from far away, rangefinders and spotting scopes become real assets. Both make up for the increased distance between you and your target.

Packing and Organizing Tips

When preparing for your hunting trip, pack the items you will use the most or want easy access to at the top of your backpack or in exterior pockets. Keep your gear organized by using compartments and pouches. Pack light, but don’t skimp on essential items that can make the difference between success and failure.

Hunting offers unique opportunities to reunite with nature, but it’s better to do so while being fully equipped. With items from our guide, you should be able to address the majority of situations a hunter might find themselves in.
