7 Must-Have Accessories for Off-Road Hunting

Hunting Accessory #1: Gun Boot

This option allows you to safely and legally transport your gun from point A to point B without worry. Safety is always the first priority and when an accessory provides that as well as comfort and convenience, it's even better! There are a number of different options that will get the job done to fit both ATVs and UTVs. Two of our favorites include Yamaha and Can-Am Stronghold because of their durability.

Pro tip: make sure to check that the gun boot you select fits your vehicle before you make the purchase!

Hunting Accessory #2: Gun Rack

There's just something essential about fitting your vehicle with a quality gun rack. There are options for both UTVs and ATVs and a model to fit your needs. You can transport your gun without having to worry about strapping it down or worrying about it falling out of the bed of your UTV which can become a very serious safety issue. Make sure that you are able to transport your guns safely and responsibly. These gun racks are a great way to stay safe while upping your comfort and ease of travel.

Hunting Accessory #3: ATV Storage Trunk

UTVs typically come standard with a bed or additional storage space, but that doesn’t mean an ATV can’t be equipped to store your hunting gear. If you have an ATV and need space to store your gear, consider purchasing an ATV storage trunk. This handy accessory gives you room to easily transport all your gear like hunting vests, duck calls, and more! Two of our favorite options are Moose Racing Rear Aluminum ATV Box and Quadboss ATV Rear Storage Box. These trunks mount easily to your ATV and give you the space you need to hunt with a high level of convenience and ease.

Hunting Accessory #4: Gun Rack or Bow Rack

If you need to transport multiple guns or bows, consider the NRA Double Gun/Bow Rack. The convenient holder on this accessory can slide to fit the dimensions of your weapons. They easily attach to the rail of your UTV and are simple to install. They are a great way to get what you need out to your hunting spot without having to worry about dropping anything, which makes this a much safer option!

Or, if you’re looking for a handlebar gun rack, check out Moose Racing Handlebar Gun Rack. This model attaches to ATV cargo racks and lets you keep your gun up front. There's no reason to fumble with bulky rifles when there are so many great gun rack options available! Moose Racing makes a great model that gets the job done.

Hunting Accessory #5: Winch

Hunting involves a lot of off-roading when it's done right, but no one wants to get stuck out in the wilderness without a winch! Look for a durable option that can help you pull out a friend or vice versa if you encounter mud or rough terrain. If you have a certain towing capacity need, check out the winch size which dictates the amount it is able to tow. Can-Am Provantage 3000 and WARN 4000 DC Winch are two models that we really like that can help you stay prepared when on the trails.

Hunting Accessory #6: Handguards

Hunting requires a lot of dexterity and if your hands are all scraped up it can affect your performance so you’ll want to protect your hands against branches or debris on the trails. There's nothing worse than trying to hunt with cold hands that are all bruised and achy! We love this Powermadd model because it keeps our hands protected and looks great. This is just one example of the many great models that are available.

Hunting Accessory #7: GPS

Don't get lost on your next hunting outing with GPS. There are a lot of unmarked trails that you may want to explore, especially if you know your trusty GPS will prevent you from getting lost. Even with a map, many trails are confusing, circle back on themselves, or have changed due to weather events like mudslides. There are a variety of models available to help you navigate the trails.

Hunting season is going to be here before we know it, and now is the time to get prepared! Come down to Tousley Motorsports today and check out all of the great we have that will help make this hunting season one of your best!
