Turkey Season is around the corner, and excitement is starting to build here in Western NC. Our fellow hunters here always get amped up and prepared for Turkey Season sooner than they do for other hunting seasons. I think it has something to do with the weather changing, and people are ready to get back outside.
I bet you're wondering, "How can Blue Ridge Safe help me prepare for the Turkey season?" Well, the truth is we can't. However, we can help you pick the best gun safe for your turkey guns and gear. Having a good gun safe is far more than a storage solution; it's an essential investment. After all, you won't stand a chance at bagging that big bird this year without having your guns, ammo, and gear in working condition.
Today, we will look at five great gun safe's for hunters. All five gun safes are secure and have a great price point and good fire rating. Most importantly, they are designed to hold longer guns, ammo, and equipment.
Bonus points: they are all tall safes, so you won't have to bend over to find what you're looking for. We've also picked these safes because they have enough space to easily hold your gun and gear.
