In this buyer’s guide, we go through everything you need for the hunt.
All the hunting gear you need for different types of hunting
You don’t have to arm yourself to the teeth when you’re new to hunting. As with much else, you can start by acquiring basic hunting equipment and then add more advanced hunting gear over time. When your budget allows, you can buy new hunting clothes, hunting gloves, camouflage nets, and so on.

When it comes to moose hunting, it’s important that you have the appropriate hunting equipment. In addition to more basic hunting gear, you should also acquire the following:

- Boots – Moose hunting is often exhausting and the weather can be unpredictable. And you may have to carry a lot of weight if you shoot a moose. Therefore, you need a pair of good, sturdy boots to protect your feet.
