Readers' Choice Awards 2015: Best Hunting Gear

Thank you to those who voted in our annual Readers' Choice poll. We had a huge response —  5,395 of you took the time to tell us about your favorites in 12 categories.

We saw a few surprises this time, such as the large number of statistical ties. With a margin of error of plus or minus 1.2 percent of votes, four categories resulted in finishes too close to call. Then again, we had some runaways as well.

YETI dominated the cooler category with 68.7 percent of the vote. Ruger fans made it clear that they like the American Rimfire (53.1%).

Another result was also clear: when we asked you why you voted for what you chose, there was no shortage of opinions!
