For a successful hunt, you need to have the right tools for the job. We don’t just mean your rifle or bow (although those are certainly important). Instead, we mean the actual tools that you will be carrying around in your hunt pack. Here, we detail the top five hunting tools you should have with you at all times.
Pocket knife
A pocket knife is compact and easy to use. It is essential for most hunts, as it can be used for a wide variety of tasks from gutting an animal to cutting some rope. These small knives are an ideal size, allowing you to carry them with you without sacrificing space.
GPS/radio combo
Chances are you will be hunting in unfamiliar territory. A GPS can ensure that you don’t get lost and you can get to your intended destination. Using a GPS/radio combo is even better, as this will allow you to speak to other hunters and keep track of them on your map.
Flagging tape
It’s always a good idea to keep some flagging tape on you. Why? Because it can make hunting all that much easier. Flagging tape can help you track a blood trail, especially if it’s raining and the trail has been washed away. It can also help you find your way back should it get dark out.
Camo duct tape
Duct tape can be a godsend, especially while you’re out hunting. If you’ve ripped a hole in your boots or even need to camo up your shotgun barrel, camo duct tape can lend a helping hand.
Folding saw
Finally, there is the folding saw. Inexpensive and compact, this saw folds in on itself and can be easily stored in your sack. A folding saw is an excellent tool to use for cutting through bones and cartilage or even cutting out a trail.
Now that you have the tools for the job, it’s time to go out hunting. Elk Ridge Outfitters offers several hunting packages for you to choose from. Contact us today to learn more!
