The right gear changes as the season goes on.
Early season
Warm days call for light, breathable layers, plenty of water and bug protection.
Mid season
Calls, decoys and mid-weight layers come into play during the rut and peak migration.
Late season
Cold weather calls for insulation, wind protection, hand warmers and dry boots.
