The only gear you truly NEED to bow hunt is a bow and a few arrows and a broadhead. To improve your chances of being successful camo, popup blind or tree saddle, and binoculars will greatly improve your chances. After that you can spend as much money as you’d like on bow hunting gear. Everything from scents, calls, boots, packs, knives, and so much more, but that can all be accumulated over time. Never let a lack of gear keep you from enjoying bowhunting.
