Why Hunters Obsess Over Gear

How much gear is too much when chasing whitetails? This episode of Gun Talk Hunt dives into the real-world investment hunters make in rifles, optics, muzzleloaders, thermal tech, and everything in between. Host KJ talks with Jeff Puckett and Todd Bonura about the evolution of hunting setups, what gear trends are rising in 2026, and why some tools are changing the way we approach the woods—from reloading to high-tech tracking.

This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Remington Ammo, CZ Firearms, Range Ready Studios, and Ruger.
