Poll: Hunting Apparel Most Wished For
A recent poll of sportsmen and firearm owners by Southwick Associates’ HunterSurvey.com / ShooterSurvey.com asked, “What hunting or target shooting gear are you most hoping to receive this holiday season?”
Hunting Apparel topped the list, with 22.3 percent of respondents indicating they hoped to receive such gear. Next were Handguns, Game/Trail Cameras and, surprisingly, No Hunting/Shooting Gifts This Year (Bah, Humbug!).
