4 Tips for Selecting the Best Tarps for Autumn Hunting Trips

Autumn is the time of year when many hunters head off into their tree stands, duck blinds and sweet spots in search of elusive pray. If you hope to be part of a hunting party in the coming weeks, don’t forget to grab some hunting appropriate tarps. Here’s what to look for when you do:

Hunting Tarp Buying Tip #1: Material Design

When selecting tarps for autumn hunting trips, look for ones that have camouflage colors similar to those found at your favorite spots. That way, you and your hunting gear are more apt to blend into the environment.

Hunting Tarp Buying Tip #2: Material Strength

The strength of the materials used in the hunting tarps’ creation should also be taken into consideration. We’d suggest looking for camo tarps that are made with a 3-ply, 1000 denier polyethylene material. They are designed to be rot proof, tear resistant, waterproof, UV resistant and acid resistant. As such, you can leave the camo tarp set-up for weeks without fear of it deteriorating.

Hunting Tarp Buying Tip #3: Cold Weather Safe

Speaking of deteriorating, it is also a superb idea to examine the tarp’s grommets and ability to withstand cold temperatures. After all, there is a good chance that your hunting spot is going to get cold, wet and windy as the season progresses.

Because of that, you may want to select a camo tarp that has arctic flexibility, rope reinforced edges and sturdy, even spaced grommets. A good example of a tarpaulin that has such features is our 6’ x 9’ Camouflage Medium Duty Tarp. Designed to blend into a woodland setting, it is made with heat-sealed, rope lined hems. The washable tarp is suitable for use in cold climates and features rust-resistant grommets. The grommets are typically placed 36 inches apart from one another. So attaching it to your tree stand, ATV, duck blind or hunting truck shouldn't be a problem.

Hunting Tarp Buying Tip #4: Lightweight & Compact

Lastly, consider buying a hunting tarp that is lightweight and compact. Doing so will make it much easier to haul the tarp into and away from your favorite hunting locations. A good weight to look for is one that is less than 5 ounces.
