Our Favorite Gear

We have both tried a ton of hunting equipment, both that we own ourselves and gear we have borrowed and tried from friends, family and also tried directly from the manufacturer. This is a list of our most beloved gear for hunting. It is of course an organic and a totally biased list – it will update as soon as we try something better within the category. Hope you enjoy it! and let us know your favorites so we can try them!

Favorite Rifle for Hog Hunting

I absolutely love the Browning BAR Match in .308 with an ATN X-sight 4k for Hog hunting. I can’t give you many good reasons why this is so much better than other options but it’s a mix between nostalgia for the rifle and that it’s a kind of cheap and affordable combination.


Favorite Scope for Hunting

This is an easy one for me, I am a huge nerd when it comes to red dot sights. I don’t know anyone who has owned more Aimpoint sights than I have. My favorite hunting is usually fast-paced which is why they are awesome.


Favorite Hunting Boots

Irish Setter Vaprtrek Waterproof Hunting Boot that I wrote about and tried for our article on the best hunting boots. I really didn’t think much of them before I tried them and realized it was like walking in cotton candy.


Favorite Hunting Knife

I’m not sure it’s the best performing knife in the world but I’m in love with how Knives of Alaska Alpha Wolf looks and it sure is sharp and easy to sharpen. So I’m going to have to go for this one. If you want to read more about our favorite picks you should check out our huge article here.


Favorite Binoculars

Vortex Optics Razor HD Binoculars Would be my choice for the normal type of hunting i do, like when scouting for wild deer or just driving around the ranch inventing what animals we have around.


Favorite Bow for Hunting

SAS voyager 62″Premium Takedown Hunting Bow is my favorite bow. I think this is primarily because I’m somewhat of a traditionalist and I love how this one looks and feels in my hands. Read more in our total guide.


Favorite Type of Hunting

For sure my expertise is within the hog hunting field, I have put more hours with wild hogs than at home with my kids soon. But I think just looking at the pure fun I would have to go for geese hunting or duck hunting. Just love the social aspects of that type of hunting.

Favorite Rifle for Hog Hunting

Well, this wasn’t easy, I do a lot of hunting with my 30-06 from Sako, but my new found favorite is the AAC Micro 7 which is a smaller and quite nifty rifle with a lot of settings and fine-tunings on it. I find it really easy to use and love how I can tune it for my body so easily.


Favorite Scope for Hunting

I have a few favorites, when it comes to red dot sights I often find myself using the Burris FastFire 3. But if I only can pick one it has to be the Pulsar Trail XP50. It’s like playing a video game when out hunting and I’ve always loved video games.


Favorite Hunting Boots

Muck Woody PK Rubber Women’s Hunting Boots I have a problem with cold and I really appreciate staying warm and dry so without a doubt my favorite pair of boots were these ones.


Favorite Hunting Knife

ESEE Knives 5P Fixed Blade Knife is my favorite, I wrote a post a while back where we were trying to best hog hunting knives and that’s when I started using the knife, and now I find myself using it for all different applications. So this one is awesome!


Favorite Binoculars

Nikon Prostaff 5 Binoculars has been a long time favorite of mine as they feel like real actual old school binoculars and for some reason, I always find these when we’re going out hunting. I suggest you read more here


Favorite Bow for Hunting

Easy one, I am a huge fan of the G5 Outdoors Radical it’s really lightweight and it hits like a truck. You can read more about it on our compound bow guide.


Favorite Type of Hunting

I’m a dog gal, I love hunting dogs and for me, it’s more important that my dogs have a good experience when hunting than that we actually shoot some game. So my favorite type of hunting is driven hunts for wild hogs. It’s very rewarding for dogs and owners.
