Madison, WI – Wisconsin deer hunters gearing up for the season should consider new equipment trends. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently highlighted gear that some hunters are incorporating into their packs. This equipment aims to enhance safety, comfort, and success in the field.
According to the DNR, the “deer-view mirror” is growing in popularity. This device helps hunters monitor their surroundings for deer approaching from unexpected angles. Battery-powered clothing is also becoming more common, keeping hunters warm with portable heating options built into socks, gloves, and vests.
For those who enjoy hunting from treetops, the DNR noted that tree saddles offer flexibility. These allow hunters to rappel and hang from trees for optimal positioning. Lastly, some hunters swear by their “lucky shirt,” an annual uniform said to boost harvest success.
Not all hunters rely on advanced technology. Many prefer minimalistic tools and traditional methods. The DNR suggests finding the gear that works best for each hunter’s unique style.
