Early Season Bow Hunting Equipment

When you are early season bow hunting, in many cases you are out there hunting before most hunters have even bought their tags. That is why the best early season bow hunting tip and tactic I can give you is to just get out there and do it. 

  • Binoculars: Scouting, Stand hunting and Spot and stalk hunting requires you to find the deer. It is amazing how many more deer you can find with the use of binoculars that you would not see otherwise. They also are essential in the stalk as you need to find the deer before they find you, which means using your binoculars to pick out the tip of a horn or the flick of a tail. Of course binoculars are needed throughout the year and one of the most important pieces of equipment a hunter of any type can use.
  • Rangefinder: Knowing the exact distance to your target is a huge benefit especially when shooting long distances or bow hunting. There are certain specs that you will want in a rangefinder such as angle compensation. You will be shown where you can get a rangefinder with all you need on it later in this article.
  • Spotting Scope: Both used for spotting deer and then being able to judge them to make sure they are worthy of a stalk. Spotting scopes are also important to find other deer and anything else that can compromise your stalk that is in your intended path. It is very easy to get busted by an animal you did not know existed. Spotting scope are a must have for for all hunting seasons.
  • Camouflage: With deer vision it is not as important to be the same color as the back ground, but more so to break up your figure. Plus, in typical spot and stalk habitat the foliage can be dry and yellow in grasses, or green in trees and shrubs. Therefore it is important to have a camo pattern that is very versatile. We will discuss the best brands later in the article.
  • Scent Control Camo: If you will be early season bow hunting, then you will want a camo outfit that offers scent control, but is also light weight and breathable so you do not get hot and sweat, making you scent worse off than if you were to be hunting naked. For this reason, I suggest a scent control that made for warm temperatures. We will talk more about this at the end of the article.
  • Boots: When stalking deer, it is important to be as quiet as possible. I have taken my boots off and stalked in my sock successfully before,
