Upland hunter’s accessory kit is incomplete without a shotgun sling

  Shotgun lovers or even hunters know that a good firearm is the most important. But, what if someone told you that besides a nice shotgun, a simple strap or sling is one of the most significant accessories you need to have.  People often overlook the advantages of using a shotgun sling .

It means that it can easily fail, switch off or drain its battery. What if you get stuck far away from your camp or forget the route and at the same time something goes wrong with the GPS? You probably don’t want to get into trouble. Can a traditional compass and map save you?  Let’s look at a few pros and cons of both in order to make a better decision.    The old school way - Pocket compass  The old-school way for navigating through the wilderness is a compass and a map. It is one of the best kits to pack for your upland hunting, but not without having a b
