Vet Wrap

Dont know for sure I usually add some white once the snows on the ground and take it off in the spring.

I purchase mine at Fleet Farm.
 
Keep a stock of it, Before I started using camo netting I used white vet wrap, it needs to be replaced after awhile, it is not truly reusable as they say. I went to the local tack/feed store and told then I want a case of white vet wrap, thats how I got it.

I have reused the white over the last two years. I always have a couple of rolls on hand just in case. I used a roll one year and took it off and rolled it up and used it again the next year. Depends on how hard you use it and it is inexpensive so not to worry if it doesn't last too long.
 
Take it off at the end of the season. If you leave it on too long it leaves a residue. I fractured my heel and ankle a couple of years ago and after 3 months of being in the house I had to get out in the woods so I wrapped my crutches, cane and rifle in the stuff. I took it off my rifle after a couple of months but I left it on my crutches and cane for bow hunting and by spring when I took it off of them I had to do a little cleaning to get it all off.

Now, keep in mind that what was on the crutches and cane saw a LOT harder use than what it ever would on a gun so that might make some difference. When I got to a hill I couldn't walk up it because my ankle wouldn't bend so I would crawl and drag everything else with me. One afternoon I crawled about 100 yards through the mud to get up a hill to shoot a deer and everything was covered with mud by the time I made it. So, yeah, it is pretty tough stuff.
 
Hoppes #9 will make it slimy at first then extremely tacky but other than that I have left it on for more than a year or so
