Hunting Gear

You scored a sheep tag too? Congrats! Don't have the hunting gear that quite fits the hunt and you can't justify dropping that much on a scope you'll use once? We've got you covered. Rent Hunting Gear with us. Sight it in and have a successful hunt. Then send it back, or buy it if you can't live without it. You're well on your way already to a successful hunt.

Can't decide which rangefinder you want to buy? Do you want the chance to try it in the field and see exactly how well it works. Rent Rangefinders and Spotting Scopes from us and try before you buy. Keep the one you like and send the other's back. Then you'll know exactly what you're getting for the money. Oh yeah! That's money well spent.
