You can tackle any job, as long as you have the right tools for the job. We have narrowed the gear down to a few of the basic necessities that will help you get the job done, simply. Whether you're an archer or a rifle hunter in deer season, or just a bird hunter, you'll be fixed up.
Your gunOf course, you probably already have a Gun to use, but you should be advised about the importance of cleaning it. Universal Gun cleaning kits are available everywhere, which are priced in a range from approximately $8.00 - $40.00. It is vital to keep your Gun clean, because it will improve the accuracy and reliability. Slings to help you carry your Gun, and rests for helping you aim, all are also helpful. As for ammunition, you will want to go ahead and get the higher priced Ammunition. If you've ever heard the statement, "you get what you pay for," you'll know that in many cases it's true. Think about all that you spend on your hunting trips, so your success be hindered on faulty low priced Ammo. I can assure you that if you're bird hunting, many of the cheaper shotgun hulls do not eject well immediately after shooting a load of low antimony lead shot. You don't need to necessarily buy a target, but get one somehow and sight your Gun in. Once you sight your Gun in to your preference, store your cleaned Gun in a nice protective rifle case, in order to avoid banging your scope, which will shift its setting to a less precise standing.
ApparelIt's going to be a cold year, according to the Farmers' Almanac, so we better invest in some good clothing. You will need thick socks, possibly double them up. Also, thermal underwear would be a good idea for the colder days, as well as some nice camouflage pants and long sleeve shirt with jacket. A matching bright orange toboggan and gloves are highly advised for safety sake. Don't worry, the deer can't see the bright orange, but hunters can! Instantly activated long-lasting hand warmers are advised, so that you can install them into your boots and gloves. Invest in some new scent neutralizing; toothpaste, shampoo and soap. This is very important for deer hunters, because deer have especially keen sense of smell. You may get a good shot at a trophy buck that is between you and the blinding sun, so shooting glasses and a cap are good to have handy.
Knives & opticsBird hunters might be exempt from some of these, but that's only if you plan to take the bare minimum hunting. A good pair of binoculars will pay off big time, out in the field. A monocular is much simpler to carry than a pair of binoculars, but the limitation is the narrowed view. If you're out to shoot what you see, a cheap pair will do fine. However, if you're planning on studying the environment to see where the big bucks are and learn their behavior and locations, then a bigger, nicer pair will be necessary. Similarly, a good scope for your rifle is necessary. Again, keep your ideal range in perspective when shopping these things. In other words, if you're using a larger Gun that carries a heavier bullet further, then you will want a more powerful scope. A good pocket knife is handy no matter what you're hunting for. I prefer to keep a good pocket knife and a sharp skinning knife so that I can gut my kill on the s cene. You can buy a game kit, which contains more than enough variety for skinning, quartering, and cooking your game. I have seen these game kits as cheap as $20.
The recommended gear should give you everything you need to ensure that your hunting trips are successful. You don't have to spend a fortune on any of this gear, nor do you have to buy the entire store, if you abide by these suggestions.
