The whitetail deer season is in for some and just around the corner for others. There was a hint of cool air this morning. Coupled with the honks from a pair of Canada geese that flew overhead, it made me long for my stand in a favorite place that I\u2019ve hunted for years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I look to the season ahead, I naturally begin to gather my <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/videosview\/hunting-the-midwest-why-binoculars\/\">whitetail deer hunting<\/a> gear. Both my bow and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/videosview\/toric-34mm-4-25x50\/\" title=\"Introducing the TORIC 34MM 4-25X50 Extreme Long Range Rifle Scope\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1676\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rifle have seen time at the range<\/a>. Camouflage has been removed from scent-resistant bags, washed, and repacked. Middle-of-the-day scouting sessions have replaced my typical lunch hour sandwich as I\u2019d much rather ease through the woods, looking for sign and checking cameras while getting exercise. Like most of us, I\u2019m looking forward to this coming deer season with extra anticipation.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deer_Hunting_Gear\"><\/span><b>Deer Hunting Gear<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My whitetail <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/the-art-of-deer-shot-placement\/\">deer hunting gear<\/a> consists of what I need to stay comfortable during warm days, cold days, and all-day sits. From the right layering systems for those dark-to-dark days in the stand during the rut to my favorite cutlery should I be so lucky, I like to be prepared. The following items are what I rely on throughout the deer season. And it\u2019s these manufacturers who build <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/the-art-of-deer-shot-placement\/\">deer hunting<\/a> gear that I wouldn\u2019t leave home without.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Camouflage &#8211; Sitka Whitetail Deer Hunting Gear<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Durable, breathable, water repellant, and quiet.

From the fabrics they choose to the technology they use to construct their garments, this is camo that performs in all seasons. Whether it\u2019s hot and humid or cold and snowy in the eastern deer woods, Sitka makes camo that performs in all seasons, keeping me comfortable for those long sits during the rut.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Boots &#8211; Meindl<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/meindlusa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meindl builds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> boots that can withstand hard use. They are also priced really well. A lot of times, in our area, we hunt public land. And accessing the best spots requires a bit of hiking. I\u2019ve found these boots to be incredibly durable and easy to walk in. You know how, when wearing some boots, no matter how well you aim your next foot step they seem to find a branch to crack or pine cone to crunch? My Meindls are the exact opposite.
