Where the Season Starts and the Heat Doesn’t Stop
August in Arizona hits different. It's hot, dry, and everything out there wants to bite, sting, or stick you.
It's glassing velvet mule deer across sunburnt basins. Crawling through cactus and crushed rock after sharp-eyed pronghorn. Early mornings on your optics. Long days under a sky with zero shade.
The early season isn't just about chasing game. It's about enduring the desert.
We've pulled together our top five gear picks to help you do exactly that. Built to handle the heat, the dust, and everything the early season in the West throws your way.
Early season weather can be unpredictable. The Enclosed Chest Pack protects you from dust/debris while riding in an SXS or road hunting. It keeps moisture away from your optics during violent summer storms. One hand access means you don't have to set your weapon down to access your glass. The pack’s design allows you to open the lid for quick viewing and close it with ease.
The Rangefinder Pouch's forward-opening, magnetic stays-open lid is perfect for bow hunting. Keeping the lid open provides quick access for ranging, making your movements smooth and efficient.
Early season hunts are often sunny and hot. The Sun Tech Hoodie is designed to keep the sun off you. Its oversized hood provides extra shade while you’re glassing. Soft and lightweight, it’s the perfect companion for early season hunts.
One Panel. Endless Options.
Carry exactly what you need by adding a phone sleeve, release holster, double ammo loops, reed call holder, or other accessories to your chest pack setup.
Being prepared for the hunt is crucial, whether you’re stepping out of your vehicle for the day or packing out of your tent in the morning. If you make a kill, you need to break it down and get it to a cooler quickly. Having a kill kit and game bags on hand is essential for successfully bringing the meat home.
