EXPLORE THE SYSTEM

BUILT ON TRADITION

Real hunting heritage, real American wool

For decades, our founder and legendary deer tracker Hal Blood taught hunters what it really takes to hunt the Big Woods. Patience, woodsmanship, and gear you can trust. Those lessons were not learned from a catalog. They were earned track by track, season after season, in deep snow and thick cedar.

Big Woods Wool was built to carry that mindset forward. Our wool is not fashion gear with a hunting label. It is purpose built equipment designed for the way serious hunters actually hunt. Slow, quiet, and close. Every jacket, pack, and layer is made to work the same way Hal taught. Simple, durable, and dependable when the moment finally comes.

REVIEWS FROM BIG WOODS NATION

Best jacket on the market!

I bought this jacket for my first full season of Maine hunting in the mountains. I was amazed at how warm and quiet the jacket was. Natural wool is a game changer. The layout of the internal pockets is perfect, it eliminated the need for a backpack. This was extremely useful after I shot a buck at the base of a mountain, and had a mile drag back to the truck. Not having the back pack allowed be to sling my carbine over my back and drag. High quality jacket and great customer service.

Tracker 22oz Wool Hunting Jacket

This jacket is amazing

This jacket is amazing. I've put it through its paces here daily in northern Michigan and it continues to impress me. Layered right for the temp and activity I have yet to be to hot or cold. It's that high quality tight knit wool. Tracked this morning in 15 F temps for four miles and it was covered in snow from the trees but I never felt different and it kept warm.the detachable cape complets the system.highly recommend.

WHY WOOL?

Gear shaped by decades in the big woods

For generations, wool has been the backbone of real big woods hunting. Long before membranes and miracle fabrics, guides relied on wool because it worked when nothing else would. Snow, rain, blowdowns, and miles on a track don’t care about marketing claims. They care about warmth, silence, and durability.

Wool stays warm when wet, breathes as you climb ridges, and dries fast when the weather turns. It’s naturally odor-resistant and, most important to a tracking hunter, it’s quiet in brush. Twigs don’t slap. Branches don’t pop. You move the way a hunter is supposed to move.

Big Woods Bucks wool gear was designed by Master Maine Guides who spend entire seasons on their feet. Every jacket, pant, and pack is built for one purpose: to help you hunt longer and go farther in the conditions that make most gear quit.

Questions From the Big Woods

Straight answers before you commit to wool.

Isn't wool outdated?

Old doesn’t mean outdated. Wool still does things modern fabrics can’t: it stays warm when wet, dries fast, breathes as you move, and runs dead quiet in brush. Synthetics slap, pop, and hold odor. Wool lets you climb ridges, sweat, cool down, and keep hunting without changing layers. That’s why working guides still choose it after a hundred years of “new” gear.

Is your wool made for hunting all day?

Yes. Wool regulates temperature as you move, insulates when wet, and air-dries quickly. It’s built for tracking miles through snow, rain, and thick cover, exactly the conditions where synthetics feel clammy, noisy, or cold.

Why is your wool better than modern fabrics?

Generations of Big Woods hunters relied on wool long before modern fabrics existed. It simply worked when nothing else did. It’s quiet, durable, warm when wet, and dependable day after day. In tracking country, performance matters more than marketing claims.

Is your gear made in the USA?

Yes. Every Big Woods Bucks wool jacket, pant, and pack is cut and sewn in New England from premium American virgin wool, designed by Maine guides with over a century of combined hunting experience.

How does Big Woods wool fit?

Our gear is cut for movement. Most hunters order their normal size to allow a base layer underneath. Pants come unhemmed so you can set your exact inseam, and jackets are built to layer without binding when you shoulder a rifle.

Why does wool cost more than regular hunting clothes?

Because it’s not regular hunting clothes. Most synthetic camo is built to last a few seasons and get replaced. Our wool is built to last decades. You’ll spend less owning one real jacket than replacing synthetics every 2–3 years. Initial price is higher. Overall cost is lower.

At Our Core

We believe the hunting world lost its way decades ago, with technology, food plots, and heated stands replacing true woodsman skills and knowledge of animal habit and habitat. At Big Woods Bucks, our goal is to revive and promote hunting in its most ancient, purest form by getting out into the big woods and learning to read the woods and the subtle sign that makes the biggest difference in your success.

Our wool gear fits that same mindset. Simple, dependable equipment that works with the hunter instead of trying to replace him. Built for moving through the woods like it’s an extension of your body.

The woodsman skills we teach and the gear we promote help you safely test yourself against the wilderness and have real, authentic big woods adventures along the way.
