Thank you. But I wasn't precise. The most of these regard to the whole of the tools. Actually I would like to know how one piece of the equipment is called. For e.g.: "this rope/stick/or anything is a hunter-..." Well, for e.g. gizmo is singular, but I hunter-gizmo wouldn't be the better choice, I think, searching for the most general phrase in the mentioned case.

Accessories, gear, accoutrements.

Anything commonly used principally by hunters would be referred to as a hunting rifle, a hunting knife, a hunting er, umm, licence (can't think of anything else used only by hunters...)

Well, I'm trying to be even more specific. What is a boomerang? (Originally.) I would say it is a hunter-tool, or hunter's tool, maybe hunter-weapon. I wouldn't use the simple "weapon" word because it was used during hunting animals, not in war. But in my dictionary, the English equivalent of the "hunter-weapon" of my language is "shotgun." And a boomerang is not a shotgun.

I would say that a boomerang was originally a hunting weapon (or a hunter's weapon). A weapon does not have to be used for war.

KaaJee I would like to know what one piece of the equipment is called.
I would call it a piece of hunting equipment, believe it or not. I can't think of a word that fits "a hunting X".

Yes, I believe it, thanks.

How about "a hunting implement"?
