Get Set for Waterfowl Season with Hunt Monkey

For those who love the sights and sounds of hunting ducks, geese and other waterfowl, this one’s for you. While seeing a flight of ducks decoy into the spread, the conditions also present some unique challenges. The hunting is often best when the weather is at its worst—cold temperatures, drizzling rain and even sleet or snow, plus gusty winds. Being on the water doesn’t help things, and retrieving decoys can also make for a soaking-wet experience too. And you also need to remain well concealed.

Hunt Monkey understands these unique challenges and has a complete line of gloves designed with the waterfowler in mind. From those dry, warm early season hunts to later in the year when things can turn downright frigid, there’s a glove solution for nearly every condition. Read more

Swagger Bipods QD Series, Ideal for Western Hunting

For many hunters, kicking off another big game season is spent traveling to the western United States to hunt screaming bull elk or a monster mule deer. Whether hiking up and down the majestic Rocky Mountains, trekking through the plains, or foothills farther north, the hunt will be demanding. In sharp contrast to deer hunting, hunters cannot sit in a treestand or blind and wait for the game to come into close range. Western hunting requires packing a firearm and a large backpack full of all the essential gear the hunter may need. To make it more challenging, the hunter must travel the rough terrain until they find an animal, get into close range, and find an area where they can make the shot. Read more
