Classic buck mechanics may have a lot of tricks of the trade in their treat bag, but what they also have is a substantial selection of tools to work with in shaping their hunting plans, strategies and tactics.
Hunters, like anglers, tend to be a little gadget crazy, but most outdoor types will admit that deer hunters are usually found at the top of this gear-crazy heap.
I was lucky enough to recently get a quick tour of the hunting-gear room belonging to one of buck mechanics headlined in this feature. And I managed to take some quick notes about some of the hunting stuff that Kerry French regularly keeps on hand.
Here is the list of a few of the items I recorded:
A scoped hunting rifle
Gear bags and boxes
