Best Tools to Use When Hunting

When hunting, there are many items you can bring along to make the journey easier and more enjoyable. But what items/tools should you bring? Here are some items to bring to help you along:

1 - Safety gear! The number one item on our list is safety gear, and for good reason. A first aid kit is a good item to carry along, and many are available at a low cost from local stores. Be sure to wear your orange vest as well to protect against fellow hunters.

2 - Bird whistles. If you are out hunting certain types of bird, there are whistles available to help you along.

3 - A cell phone. Be sure to turn it on silent or off when you're stalking your prey. A ringing cell phone is never a good idea when a deer is within sight. Some prefer leaving their phone at home when hunting, but if there is an emergency, it will be a while before you can get a hold of one. That could be your saving grace.

4 - Food! Keep snacks and water on hand in case you get the munchies.

5 - A map of the area. To help ensure you don't accidentally get lost, it's a good idea to keep a map on hand of the local surroundings, if one is available.

6 - A companion. Although not technically an "item" having a companion with you during your hunt is not only safer, it'll also help the time pass. Two heads are better than one, and four eyes are better for spotting animals when hunting, as well as a good way to keep an eye out for any dangers that may be around.
