Gear for Going Guided

November 6, 2015 | Darren Choate

Gear for Going Guided

In just a couple of days, I am headed to Kansas to hunt White-tailed deer with Heartland Pride Outfitters during the peak of the rut with my bow. It may seem cliche, but I find using a checklist helpful to ensure I always arrive at my destination with the appropriate gear. I can tell you, I would rather focus on the hunting aspect of a guided or semi-guided hunt, rather than running around looking for a piece of gear that I neglected to bring. Below is a “starter” checklist provided by Heartland Pride Outfitters; feel free to use it as a starting point to create your own hunting checklist. Gear for Going Guided

About Heartland Pride Outfitters

Heartland Pride Outfitters has a long history in South-Central Nebraska and our family has been hunting this state for the last 80 years for deer and turkey. Since the founding of HPO we’ve expanded into multiple Nebraska ranches and camps across the state as well as into Northern Kansas to be able to provide you a multitude of big game combination hunts as well as combination turkey hunts. We now welcome and offer to you guided and semi guided Nebraska and Kansas hunting experiences with native residents of the areas. Please take the time to visit our site and hopefully we can see you in a HPO camp this upcoming spring or fall season!
