HUNTING GEAR REVIEWS

If It’s Still in My Pack,
It Earns a Review.

Over forty seasons in the Wasatch, a pack that never quits on me, and a kid who packed out his first elk three miles from the truck because Homecoming only left us one morning to hunt. That’s the bar here. Gear either clears it, or it doesn’t make the site.

Every hunter has unique needs and preferences. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, finding the right gear can significantly impact your success and overall experience. Our product reviews provide the information and insights you need to make informed decisions and elevate your adventures.

My Most-Used Gear

The gear that’s survived multiple seasons, a few questionable decisions, and at least one drop off something I shouldn’t have been standing on. If you only look at one list, look at this one. Nothing here was added because a brand asked. It’s here because I keep reaching for it.

Budget Picks That Actually Work

The stuff that costs a third as much as the fancy version and that I still haven’t replaced. I bought some of it to save money and kept it out of spite. Cheap and good usually aren’t the same thing, but every so often they shake hands, and that’s what happened here.

Glassing Setup

For the days you sit on a ridge and stare at sagebrush until a piece of it stands up and turns into a buck. Tripod, binos, a spotter worth the weight, and a seat cushion I spent years pretending I didn’t need.

Elk Day Pack

Everything that goes up the mountain with me for a day chasing elk. The pack, the optics, the kill kit, the layers I take off by nine and put back on by four. The gear does its job. I remain the unreliable part of the system.

Scent Control

Don’t be stanky during the hunt. These items will help with scent control and keep you covered.

Truck & Camp

The unglamorous gear that makes the trip survivable. Coolers, recovery straps, the camp kitchen, everything nobody films and everyone needs at five in the morning. Boring to talk about. Worse to be without.

First Hunt Setup
Youth & New Hunters

What I actually hand the kid I take out, not the most expensive version of everything in the catalog. Gear that fits a smaller frame, won’t beat up a shoulder, and won’t talk a new hunter into quitting on day one.

Cold & Wet –
Late Season Layering

For the hunts where the weather wins and you go anyway. Layers built for sitting still in the cold, hiking out in the wet, and the ugly temperature swing between the two. I’ve been miserable enough times to know exactly what’s worth the pack weight.

What is the worst piece of advice you have ever heard from either a hunting buddy or an influencer?⁠ They want to be mad at you, but we all know how impressed they are with your bugle!⁠ If only I hadn't missed that archery shot...⁠ An important item not to forget! Haha, we have all forgotten something important at some point. ⁠ Either there is a huge buck ahead of me, or he is just really excited to see me.⁠ Went through a full day's worth of snacks in 10 minutes, and now I have nothing to look forward to!⁠ Everything is great when I'm getting ready to go hunting!!⁠ Nothing is worse than driving home from a hunt! Whether you are successful or not, there is no better place than up in the hills hunting!⁠ What do you do if your hunting buddy starts bringing other guys to the spot you showed him? ⁠
