Huntin’ Season Prep: What You Need to Know

Before you hit the stand or start stomping through the swamp, here’s your pre-season checklist:

• Scout Early & Often: Game cameras and boots-on-the-ground scouting go hand-in-hand. Start weeks before the opener.

• Know Your Land: Whether you’re on public or private land, map it out with apps like onX Hunt or HuntStand.

• Dial in Your Gear: From sighting in your rifle or bow to testing calls and checking camo, preparation is key.

Gear Up with the Right Tools

We live by the motto: cheap gear gets you cheap results. Here’s what we swear by in the South:

• Camouflage That Matches the Terrain – Swamps aren’t prairies. Get yourself some earth-tone patterns that break up your silhouette in wet, dense cover.

• Reliable Boots – Waterproof, snake-proof, and made for walking through knee-deep mud.

• Custom Calls – Whether it’s a grunt tube for bucks or a screamer for hogs, local tones make all the difference.

Wild Game: What’s In Season?

From Florida to Georgia, here’s a quick peek at what’s moving:

• Whitetail Deer – Rut activity varies, but in the Deep South, late October through December is prime time.

• Feral Hogs – Open season year-round. Perfect for some nighttime thermal action.

• Turkey – Spring season brings gobblers in close — don’t forget your slate call.
