Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year, officially called Prime Big Deal Days, runs Oct. 6 and 7, 2026, and it lands right where it matters for us: the opener is close, the duck blind needs brushing in, and the first cold front is on the way. That makes this a good time to buy the gear you’ll actually use this fall—if you can find it under the pile of junk discounts.
That’s what this list is for. We pulled the best deals from every category we cover—optics, knives, EDC, hunting gear, cold-weather clothing, fishing, power stations, and shooting accessories—and leaned hard on products our editors and testers have used in the field. Where we’ve tested something, we tell you what we found and link to the full review.
Prices on Amazon move fast during Prime Day, and some of these deals may sell out. We’ll keep this list updated through the end of the sale.

Prime Day FAQ
When does Prime Day end?
Amazon’s October event, Prime Big Deal Days, started at 12:01 a.m. PT on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, and runs for 48 hours, through the end of Wednesday, Oct. 7 (Pacific time). Amazon is also dropping new limited-time “Today’s Big Deals” three times a day, at midnight, 8 a.m., and 1 p.m. PT, so it pays to check back.
Do you need Prime to get these deals?
Yes. Prime Big Deal Days pricing is for Prime members. Amazon says anyone can join for $14.99 a month or $139 a year, and eligible shoppers can start a free 30-day trial.
Are Prime Day deals really the lowest prices?
Not always. Many Prime Day discounts are real, but some “was” prices are inflated. We favor products we’ve tested and discounts measured against the price the item normally sells for on Amazon, and we skip deals that look padded.
