Apr 29, 2019

In the midst of spring-cleaning, you may find that you need update your turkey hunting gear. Prepare for the spring season and gear up with the top turkey hunting gear in the industry.

AVIAN-X

HDR Jake

The Heavy-Duty Realism (HDR) line of turkey decoys are blow-molded into reality from hand-carved designs. These decoys harness unbeatable detail and durability. The HDR Jake is sized slightly smaller than a real turkey, but just big enough that he’ll make a tempting target. His quarter-strut posture and subdominant feathers signal he’s content but ready to fight if an opportunity presents itself. This decoy has rubber molded leg stumps with authentic spur detail, a pre-attached synthetic beard, true-to-life paint scheme and feather detail, and realistic movement without unnatural spin. Choose from two included removable head designs – one with a curled, aggressive posture, the other straight and submissive. It also includes a carbon stake store in the tail and a convenient carry bag. Pair with any Avian-X hen for a completely customized setup, and you’ll paint a picture that’ll draw in every boss gobbler for miles. Learn more by visiting Avian-X’s website.

Rundown Sling Pack

When it comes to turkey hunting, mobility is key. Stay light, fast and agile with the Rundown turkey sling pack. The unique sling design packs all essential calls and gear – keeping them out of the way when on the move, and easy to access when toms start gobbling. A series of specially-sized pockets hold everything from strikers to box calls including a fleece-lined cell phone pocket. The EVA molded front pocket folds down into a shelf, and multiple D-rings are provided to attach additional gear. There are a total of 13 external pockets and 11 internal pockets, and the pack can easily slide from side to front for quick access. The breathable fabric keeps loads light and cool during hot hunts, and the adjustable padded shoulder strap ensures consistent comfort. Outfitted in Mossy Oak Obsession and designed for ultimate comfort, this is way more than just another turkey pack. Learn more by visiting Avian-X’s website.

This Rage Turkey X-treme broadhead features a pair of surgically ground, .035-inch-thick stainless steel blades that produce an initial slap-cut entry hole of nearly 3 inches, while the Meat-Hook Tip has a 9/16-cutting diameter in its own. A pair of blunt notches on each side of the tip was designed to slow the arrow as quickly as possible upon impact to potentially impair one or both wings for a faster, safer kill.
