List of “must haves” includes, but is not limited to:

  • Weapon
  • Pocket Knife
  • Camouflaged Clothing
  • Scent-Free Boots
  • Scent Killer
  • Apparel/Clothing – Camouflage & Orange. Heavy warm camo Jacket, camo pants, underneath layers, heavy wool socks
  • Boots. Get extreme weather and water proof! …
  • Backpack
  • Binoculars, although not necessary
  • Bows. Compound Bow or crossbow OK
  • Bug Repellants
  • Face mask and gloves: Use camo for elevated hunting and black for our ground-blinds.
  • Extra bow release (bowhunters): Spring falls out, strap/buckle breaks, lose or forget your main release; this is one item that can absolutely ruin a bowhunter’s day. Just like the second-string quarterback, make sure the backup gets some practice time, too.
