Frequently Asked Questions About Hunting Accessories

1. What kinds of hunting accessories does Omaha Sports & Games carry?

Our Hunting Accessories collection covers the gear that rounds out a serious hunting setup: handheld GPS units, dog tracking and training systems, gun safes and concealment furniture, protective cases for bows and optics, and predator/hog hunting lights. It's designed to complement the rest of our Hunting & Fishing lineup, including treestands and hunting blinds, optics and scopes, and wildlife feeders. Whatever style of hunting you do, there's a good chance we carry a piece of gear that supports it.
2. What's the best GPS unit for hunting?

The Garmin GPSMAP H1i Plus Premium GPS Handheld is our top pick for hunters who need reliable navigation in the backcountry, with built-in inReach satellite communication for two-way messaging and SOS capability even outside cell coverage. It's especially valuable for hunters covering large public land tracts or hunting solo, where knowing your exact location — and being able to call for help if needed — matters. Pair it with our hunting optics and scopes for a complete field-ready setup.
3. How do I keep track of my hunting dog in thick cover?

The Garmin Alpha 300 Handheld with Alpha TT 25 Dog Tracking and Training Collar lets you monitor your dog's location in real time while also giving you training and correction capability from the same handheld. This is especially useful for bird and hog hunters running dogs through dense brush where visual contact is easily lost. It's one of the more advanced systems on the market and pairs GPS tracking with e-collar training in a single unit.
4. What's a good way to store or secure my firearms at home?

For quick, secure access, the BoostedSafe Elite Fingerprint & Digital Combo Safe offers biometric and keypad entry so you can get to your firearm fast without sacrificing security. If you'd rather keep a firearm accessible but discreetly out of sight, the American Grains Handcrafted Concealment Box in Cherry Hardwood is a handmade furniture-style piece that hides a firearm in plain sight. Both are good options depending on whether you prioritize speed of access or discretion.
5. How do I protect my bow during transport?

The SKB Mathews iSeries Bow Case is a hard-sided case built to protect your bow from impact, weather, and rough handling whether you're driving to a hunting lease or flying to an out-of-state hunt. Hard cases like this are especially worth it for compound bows with sights and stabilizers attached, since those components are the most vulnerable to damage in a soft case. It's a good complement to any bow purchased from our archery collection.
6. What's the best lighting setup for predator or hog hunting at night?

Black Oak's LED Pro Series hunting light bars are built specifically for night hunting, with green and red LED options that illuminate the field without spooking game the way white light does. Green light tends to work well for hog hunting, while red is often preferred for predator calling since it's less likely to alert coyotes and other predators to your position. These mount easily to most vehicles and shooting rigs for hands-free lighting while you hunt.
7. What's the difference between a ground blind and a treestand, and which do I need?

Ground blinds, like our Maverick 6-Shooter and Maverick XL hunting blinds, sit at ground level and work well for hunters who can't or don't want to climb, for hunting with kids, or for terrain where elevated stands aren't practical. Treestands and elevated platforms, found in our Treestands & Hunting Blinds collection, give you better sightlines and keep your scent higher off the ground, which can be an advantage in wooded terrain. For hunters who want the elevation benefit with more flexibility, the Out On A Limb Pro View Tower is a modular saddle-hunting system worth considering.
8. Do you carry feeders to help pattern deer or other game?

Yes — feeders are a great way to establish consistent game patterns before the season starts, and you'll find options like the Boss Buck 300lb Sled Feeder built for reliable, low-maintenance feeding. For our full lineup of feeding equipment, check out the Wildlife Feeders collection.
9. Should I pair my accessories with optics or scopes?

Absolutely — accessories like GPS units and blinds work best alongside good glass. Browse our Hunting Optics & Scopes collection for rangefinders, binoculars, and scopes from trusted brands to complete your setup. A GPS unit gets you to the right spot, but quality optics are what help you make the shot once you're there.
10. Does Omaha Sports & Games offer a price guarantee on hunting accessories?

Yes — everything in our Hunting Accessories collection is backed by our Lowest Price Guarantee, so you can shop with confidence knowing you're getting a competitive price. If you have questions about a specific product or need help choosing the right gear for your hunting style, our team is happy to help — just reach out through our contact page.

Hunting Accessories: GPS, Gear Storage & Field-Ready Equipment

A successful hunt often comes down to the accessories you bring along, not just the firearm or bow in your hands. At Omaha Sports & Games, our Hunting Accessories collection is built to support every part of the hunt, from navigating unfamiliar terrain and tracking your dog to protecting your gear and staying visible in low light. Below, we break down the categories that matter most, so you can build a setup that fits how and where you hunt.

GPS & Navigation for Hunters

Knowing exactly where you are, and being able to get back to your truck or camp, is one of the most underrated parts of a safe hunt. The Garmin GPSMAP H1i Plus Premium GPS Handheld pairs precise mapping with built-in inReach satellite communication, meaning you can send messages and trigger an SOS even in areas with zero cell signal. This is especially valuable for hunters covering large public land tracts, hunting solo, or venturing into unfamiliar terrain where a wrong turn can mean miles of backtracking. Pairing a reliable GPS unit with a good set of hunting optics gives you the two tools most likely to make or break a hunt: the ability to find game and the ability to find your way back.

Additional GPS & Navigation Options

For hunters looking for a more budget-friendly navigation option, the Garm Series Rugged GPS Navigator offers reliable trail and waypoint tracking for public land hunts and multi-day trips. It's a solid alternative to the GPSMAP H1i Plus for hunters who want dependable GPS functionality without built-in satellite communication. Either option pairs well with a paper map or phone app as backup, since batteries can fail even on the most rugged units.

Dog Tracking & Training Systems

For hunters who run dogs, whether for upland birds, waterfowl, or hogs, keeping track of your dog in thick cover is a constant challenge. The Garmin Alpha 300 Handheld with Alpha TT 25 Dog Tracking and Training Collar solves this by combining GPS tracking with e-collar training functionality in one system, so you can monitor your dog's location and issue corrections from the same handheld. This kind of setup is particularly useful in dense brush or heavy cover where visual contact is easily lost, giving you peace of mind that your dog is safe and giving you the tools to keep training consistent even out in the field.

Firearm Storage & Concealment

Responsible firearm storage is a priority for any hunter, and the right solution depends on whether you value speed of access or discretion. The BoostedSafe Elite Fingerprint & Digital Combo Safe uses biometric and keypad entry to give you fast, secure access when seconds matter. If you'd rather keep a firearm close but out of sight, the American Grains Handcrafted Concealment Box in Cherry Hardwood is a handmade piece of furniture that doubles as discreet firearm storage, blending into a home while keeping a firearm within reach.

Gear Protection & Transport

Bows, in particular, take a beating during transport if they're not properly protected, especially with sights and stabilizers attached. The SKB Mathews iSeries Bow Case is a hard-sided case designed to protect your bow from impact, moisture, and rough handling whether you're driving to a hunting lease or flying to an out-of-state hunt. A hard case is a worthwhile investment if you've put money into a quality bow from our archery collection and want to protect that investment over years of use.

Tactical-Grade Protective Gear for Extended Hunts

For hunters spending long hours in rugged terrain or coordinating group hunts, HCC Tactical's protective gear — including the FAST XR and FAST SF tactical helmets, Ballistic Mandible Face Armor, and AMP Communication Headset — offers a level of protection and communication typically associated with tactical and law enforcement use. This is more of a specialty category than core hunting gear, but some hunters use pieces like the communication headset to coordinate group hunts over long distances or rough terrain. Worth a look if extended protection or team communication is a priority for how you hunt.

Predator & Hog Hunting Lighting

Hunting predators or hogs after dark requires lighting that lets you see without alerting game to your presence. Black Oak's LED Pro Series hunting light bars are purpose-built for this, offering green and red LED options depending on your target species. Green light tends to work well for hog hunting since hogs are less sensitive to it, while red is often the better choice for predator calling, as it's less likely to spook coyotes and other predators before you get a shot. These mount easily to trucks, UTVs, or shooting rigs for hands-free illumination in the field.

Ground Blinds for Mobile, Low-Profile Hunting

Not every hunting situation calls for an elevated stand. Ground blinds, including our Maverick 6-Shooter and Maverick XL hunting blinds, offer a low-profile, quick-setup option that works well for hunters who can't or don't want to climb, for hunting with kids, or for terrain where trees or elevated platforms aren't practical. If you're looking for the elevation benefits of a stand with more setup flexibility than a traditional treestand, the Out On A Limb Pro View Tower is a modular saddle-hunting system worth a look. For a full range of elevated options, browse our Treestands & Hunting Blinds collection.

Feeders for Patterning Game

Establishing consistent game patterns before the season opens can make a significant difference in your success rate. The Boss Buck 300lb Sled Feeder is built for reliable, low-maintenance feeding that helps draw and pattern deer and other game over time. For our complete lineup of feeding equipment, visit the Wildlife Feeders collection.

Building a Complete Hunting Setup

Hunting accessories work best as part of a complete system rather than standalone purchases. A GPS unit gets you to the right spot, but quality glass from our Hunting Optics & Scopes collection is what helps you make the shot once you're there. Combine that with the right blind or stand from our Treestands & Hunting Blinds collection, a feeder to pattern game beforehand, and secure storage for your firearm at home, and you've covered the essentials of a well-equipped hunt. For hunters who also spend time on the water, our Fishing Gear collection rounds out a full outdoor equipment lineup.
