I've been gradually upgrading my hunting gear this year - nothing special, just practical items that will come in handy in the field. Wanted to share two recent additions to my gear that have proven their worth.
New Knife - Buck 119 Special
Finally retired my old field knife and bought a Buck 119 Special, balanced just right! Had one last week - cuts, doesn't slip, and is easier to clean than my last blade. The sheath that came with it is sturdy too - no rattling. Classic design, ready to use out of the box, sharp as a tack and just right in the hand. I used it last week to carve a turkey and a rabbit - clean cuts, no slipping, and much easier to clean up than my last blade. The sheath it comes with is also sturdy - no rattling.
Short Distance Hunting E-Bike - BirchHunter Dual Motor Also added BirchHunter Wide Tires
Also added the BirchHunter Wide Tire Electric Bike for short distance setups. I wasn't sure before if it would actually be useful when hunting, but it has honestly become my go-to short distance rig. It's relatively quiet, doesn't spook prey, and the dual-motor drive is powerful enough to handle the rough dirt roads and hilly terrain around camp.
I mounted a rear gear rack and it can easily carry a full load of gear and still hunt small game like ducks and pheasants with ease. Getting in and out of the area before dawn without having to drive an ATV is fantastic. Scent control is much better and saves a lot of hassle.
If anyone rides an e-bike during hunting season, I'd love to hear how you guys set it up. Also, I'm curious if anyone has modified an e-bike for bow/gun racks or for hauling medium sized game.
