What Accessories do you need when going varmint hunting?

None really if you have ammo and a gun then you can shoot Varmints.

What accessories do you like to take when going varmint hunting?



Basically I never go anywhere without a fox whistle if there are rabbits there are foxes always remember that. Any fox whistle will do of course though I always carry a Tenterfield Fox Whistle with me but even the button one will do as if you are blasting bunnies and you see a fox chances are he will hear even a button whistle.

Bipods:
Really these are IMO essential for accurate bunny busting they will last a life time and are well worth the investment of $130 or there abouts. The best ones to get are the Swivel bipods that allow you to cant the rifle left or right which is a huge improvement over the fixed bipods. Pay the extra and get the swivel ones as they will help you and you will thank me later.

Range Finder:

You can pick these up relatively cheap these days and if you don't shoot extreme distances one out to 400m will work just fine.

Blanket/Tarp:

I do most of my varminting in the prone position (lying down) as such when shooting in the cooler months or when it has been raining you are going to get wet if you don't have one you can pick up tarps from your $2 shops which are cheap and keep you dry.

Spotting Scope/ Binoculars:
Especially good when there are two of you varminting have one on the rifle and the other one calling your shots makes it fun for the person not shooting and really helps your confidence when you keep hearing "You got him".

Camera/Video Camera:

Record your hunts its great to revisit old hunts when you are not hunting and you can share them with your mates!
