Are you going through summer time blues trying to earn a dollar? Use that hard earned dollar on quality gear for your true passion, hunting! With the early bow season just around the corner for most states, now is the time to look at your gear. Bugs, heat, and scent present extra challenges for bow hunters, not to mention the work it takes to put yourself on a buck. Let your hunting gear work for you! These 8 pieces of gear are game changers, hunting products that can truly make a difference for your season!   

8 Early Season Bow Hunting Gear Game Changers

1. Thermacell

This product made the list first because one of the first things you’ll need in the stand is bug repellent.  Temperatures are warm, the air is humid, and heavy rains have created stagnant hot water…meaning one thing, mosquitos! All of these factors are conducive for mosquitoes. In many areas it almost feels like there is no escaping them. You can’t swat them, you can’t repel them with traditional sprays, and you can’t hide behind layers of clothing. Therefore, any product that lets you battle bugs without wrecking your hunt is truly a game changer.

Thermacell has been a game changer in the hunting industry, just ask any hunter that’s used a Thermacell unit. You’ll find out that they not only use them for deer hunting but turkey hunting as well.  It creates an invisible, scent free zone that keeps the mosquitoes away from you.  It doesn’t needed to be lathered on or sprayed on.  It’s convenient and simple, and can be refilled in a matter of seconds.  This means you can focus on the hunt and not protecting yourself from bugs.

2. D/Code Scent Elimination

Besides mosquitos early season bow hunting means warm and humid weather making scent molecules your next biggest concern. During this time of the year scent molecules are easily detected, leaving you and your scent more vulnerable than ever. For the second product we chose a spray that is 7 times more effective at eliminating odor than other scent elimination sprays. This works to kill all odor causing bacteria from human, food, gas, and other sources you may encounter during the season.

D/Code field spray is formulated to kill 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria, allowing you to harness the power of medical-grade nanosilver particles to destroy 7 odor-causing microbial sources. This allows everyday bow hunters a solution to scent elimination. Michael waddell says it best – “The everyday working man can’t run home to take a shower to get rid of scent, this blue bottle is a shower in a bottle.”

3. Bushnell Impulse Cellular Trail Camera

If bugs and scent are taken care of the next biggest thing to help you during the early season is the most up to date Intel you can get. That’s why the new Bushnell Impulse wireless camera made number 3 on our hunting products list.

Bushnell has taken traditional trail camera technology to the next level. Their new wireless impulse game camera now allows you to monitor your property with more details, from anywhere without compromising your hunting.  Not only do you get high quality photos and video on demand no matter how far away you live; but you get real-time details like moon phase, wind direction, weather conditions and more from the camera and property. The impulse then gives you the ability to sort the camera images and intel by weather conditions and wind data. Real time advanced data that can directly lead to a harvest…that is a game changer.

4. Havalon Bone Collector Rebel Knife

When 1-3 helps you harvest a deer, it’s time to quickly and efficiently get the meat into the freezer. Whether you are setup back in a southern swamp or embarking on a backcountry adventure in the mountains, these two things are always important:

  • Having the right gear for field dressing  
  • Packing light  

Another important consideration for the early season is speed. Ensuring you can dress and clean a harvest before the heat and bugs get to it should be your top priority. That’s why the Bone Collector Havalon Rebel pocket knife is the ideal knife for field dressing, skinning, and even cutting up the deer for storage. The small compact knife features Havalon’s signature “always sharp” replacement blade system. This is a game changer as the purchase buys you six replacement 60A blades and for the first time, access to numerous blades including replacement gut hook blades!

5. Non-Typical Shirt and Ol’Tom Facemask

As previously mentioned, early season hunting tends to come with warm and humid weather.  It’s important that you have gear that can breathe but still keep you concealed. That’s why we choose Non-Typical’s Dura-Lite shirt. Concealment is till taken into account but the shirt has front and back heat vents for circulation. The fabric has agion active XL to fight odor and the fabric is dead quite for close early season encounters.

Another worthwhile mention is the Ol’Tom performance half facemask. Yeah, we know it is a turkey hunting facemask, but it’s lightweight and has laser-cut holes for breathability. It is the perfect facemask for concealing your face without holding heat.

6. Bone Collector Gravity Bow and Crossbow Case

Are you a bow hunter that simply tosses the bow into the backseat? Your bow sight, peep, rest, or arrows may pay the price while you’re on route to hunt. This year a game changer might be a soft shell bow case or crossbow case to protect your most important piece of gear.

These new Bone Collector Gravity soft shell bow and crossbow cases are fully adjustable and have plenty of storage space for your arrows, quiver, and other archery accessories. It also sports the Bone Collector logo and Realtree EDGE® pattern.

7. T.R.U. Ball T-Rex Release

We thought that it might be long overdue to replace that old bow release you have. Combine the reliability of a hunting release with the standards of a competition release. The new T.R.U Ball T-Rex Release does just that, a four finger handle release including an extremely light trigger. It also has a wrist strap to keep it on your wrist instead of beneath your stand while hunting.

8. To-Die-For™ Attractant

Food, anytime and anywhere is usually a game changer. Unfortunately, many hunters may not have access to acreage, implements, or budget to plant food plots. Fortunately, in states where hunting over attractants is legal, you can strategically place food at your convenience.

To-Die-For™ provides high sugar content and a hybrid sweet corn that is over 5 times sweeter than normal field corn. This combined with total digestible nutrition feed and an intense aroma means it has the power to pull deer into your bow hunting setup.
