The gear I use, test, and trust In the field
Hunting gear can get expensive fast, and not everything marketed to hunters is worth buying. Here I share the gear I actually use, test, and trust in the field. From bows and boots to Trail cameras and everyday hunting equipment.
Boot Brands I Use
HUNTING BOOTS
Boots can make or break a hunt. From long walks through rough terrain to sitting all morning in cold or wet conditions, the right pair matters. Here I’ll share the boots I’ve used, what i like about them, and which ones I think are worth the money.
MUCK BOOTS
For wet, muddy, and early season conditions, Muck boots are one of the brands worth considering. They’re built for the kind of conditions hunters actually deal with in the field.
ROCKY BOOTS
Rocky boots are another great option worth looking at when you need dependable hunting footwear. They offer a range of boots for different terrain, weather, and hunting conditions, so there’s something for everything from early season hunts to colder weather.

Hoyt Torrex Review Why This Bow Is the Best Bang for Your Buck
The Hoyt Torrex is a bow that really stands out when you look at what you’re getting for the money. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to have a quality hunting bow, and the Torrex proves that. The bow has a solid feel, a smooth draw cycle, and plenty of performance for whitetail hunting. With a 30 3/4-inch axle-to-axle length, 7-inch brace height, and 3.8-pound bare-bow weight, it’s a great size and weight for hunting from a tree stand or moving through the woods. Hoyt rates the Torrex at up to 327 FPS, which is more than enough performance for a serious whitetail setup. (Hoyt)
What I really like about the Torrex is that you can build a complete, dependable hunting setup without spending flagship-bow money. The bow itself is quality, and the overall setup gives you the features you actually need in the field without paying for a bunch of things you may never use. In my case, I’m shooting a 27.5” draw length at 60 pounds, and the Torrex still feels very smooth and controlled at that setting. It holds steady at full draw, and the draw cycle doesn’t feel harsh or jumpy, which makes it comfortable to shoot even during longer practice sessions. For someone getting into bowhunting, upgrading from an older bow, or simply wanting a reliable hunting rig without breaking the bank, I think the Torrex is a very hard bow to overlook.
For me, that’s what makes the Torrex such a good value. It’s not about having the most expensive bow on the market it’s about having a bow that you can trust when it matters. At my 27.5” / 60 lb setup, it still delivers consistent accuracy and confidence at distance, which is exactly what I want in a hunting bow. If you’re looking for a cost-effective hunting bow that still gives you the quality, adjustability, accuracy, and performance you’d expect from a respected name like Hoyt, the Torrex is absolutely worth considering. In my opinion, it’s one of the best bang-for-your-buck hunting bows out there.
