Most valuable hunting item under $100

[Brittany Chukarman]

Trekking poles and Ibuprofen. And a sling hook that attaches to the pack strap while using the poles.

 

[golfer]

Luekotape.

 

[Potsie]

There’s so many, but all have been mentioned before. My top 5:

1. Kifaru Gun Bearer
2. Wind checker
3. Bino harnes/pack (Marsupial for me)
4. OnX
5. Multiple headlamps. Primary, back-up, and tiny little e-lite as a back up to the back up.

 

[buckbull]

Alot of good stuff. Ill add Chapstick.

 

[Lefty315]

I’d have to say my Pole Cat shooting sticks.(Before they were bought out and rebranded by Primos). I not only use them to shoot, but to steady my binos for glassing and as a cane/treking pole for keeping balance in steep uneven terrain.

 

[TheGreek]

Depends on the type of hunt for me.

Big game/whitetail/waterfowl: Cope
Upland game: Redman and cinnamon gum

Mine is windchecker. I fell naked without that little bottle.

Talk about feeling naked, the feeling of getting into your tree stand way back on public for an all day sit during the rut and realizing you forgot your tin in the car. Soul crushing.

 

[T Bone]

3 pair of high-quality socks. That comes to about $100 now days.

 

[Jbotto]

Alot of good stuff. Ill add Chapstick.

That’s a great addition. Though usually I have one in my pocket. One on the bino harness and at least one somewhere in the deep recesses of my pack.

 

[prhunter]

Butt pad & Vanguard tripod

 

[Irishman]

Lightweight packable rain gear.

Dipped Kevlar gloves and above sharpener post kill. I did a whole bison with that sharpener and I feel much better not having to screw with the replaceable blade stuff. 10 drags on the blade every 20 min or so and good to go.

Waterproof paper map, neck gaiter, outdoorsman’s tripod adapter, camelbak 50oz water bottle, ear plugs on a neck lanyard.

Stand hunting? I feel I would definitely need those if I was not hiking.

Nope, I just get cold easy.
