Read guideWhy Are These Resources Free?
After 52 years of hunting, I've learned that the hunting community thrives when we help each other. Too many websites gate basic information behind paywalls or offer generic advice just to sell products.
I created HuntersLoadout to be different. These guides are free because I believe every hunter — whether you're on your first hunt or your 500th — deserves access to real, field-tested knowledge.
We do earn a small commission when you purchase gear through our affiliate links, but that never influences our recommendations. We only recommend products we'd actually take into the field ourselves.
Hunt smart. Gear right. That's our promise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these resources really 100% free?
Yes! No credit card, no hidden fees, no "free trial" that auto-bills you. Download and use everything at no cost.
Do I need to create an account?
Just an email address so we can send you the downloads. You'll also receive occasional hunting tips (which you can unsubscribe from anytime).
Can I share these guides with friends?
Absolutely! We encourage you to share these resources with your hunting buddies. The more hunters we can help, the better.
How often do you update the guides?
We update our guides annually (or more often when there are significant gear releases or changes). The 2026 editions are current as of this season.
