Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

I've started using both a trekking pole and rifle scabbard in combination.

The following trekking pole weighs next to nothing and collapses down very small to fit in your back pack whilst hunting and you don't need it. Then when i get to anything steep, slippery or hairy in any way i strap the rifle to my pack and pull out the pole. If i've finished hunting and just on my way back to the carpark/hut then i'll do likewise. Helps immensely when you have a heavy pack.

I'll also be trialing a ice axe on my next tops trip or when in the really steep stuff. Will use it in exactly the same manner as the pole.
