Summer is primarily characterized by stalking and hunting wild boar. For the hot season and the demanding forms of hunting, special equipment is necessary. Here you will find the most important information and the best offers for the best equipment for hunting in the hot season.
Rifles
In summer, stalking is one of the main forms of hunting. Especially for the leaf hunting, which is one of the highlights of the hunting year for many hunters, lightweight break-action rifles or light, handy bolt-action rifles are recommended. The advantage of break-action rifles lies not only in their short design and low weight but also in the fact that there is no side-mounted bolt lever that can get caught in clothing and equipment. On the other hand, bolt-action rifles allow for a quick second or even third shot.
The following rifles are the most popular among Gunfinder users for summer hunting:
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Depending on the hunting area, different types of thermal imaging cameras are advantageous. In purely field areas, or those where the proportion of fields predominates, powerful devices with large sensors are beneficial, allowing for the detection and identification of game over long distances. In forest areas, however, the distances are shorter due to vegetation, so it is important that the device has as large a field of view as possible - so that passing game can be quickly spotted. The most popular thermal imaging cameras in summer are on Gunfinder:
Attachment Devices
Attachment devices are now very common in wild boar hunting. While initially, attachment devices with night vision technology gained popularity, the trend is now increasingly shifting towards devices with thermal imaging technology, as these are becoming more affordable and powerful. The following devices are currently the most popular on Gunfinder:
Insect and Tick Protection
In many hunting areas, reliable insect protection is essential, even despite the dry summer of 2022. Especially in July, when there were many thunderstorms, it is particularly torturous to hunt unprotected in northeastern Germany. You can find the best insect repellents here:
