What are the basic necessities for a first-time deer hunter?

Monday, May 31st, 2010 at 9:02 am

I went to Cabela's recently and did some research by browsing the sections.

I would have to purchase a Remington hunting rifle (probably model 700 with a better quality scope) and correct ammo to pass the hunter ed course to receive a license, but I need to figure out the wear and equipment for wilderness exploring and successful hunting. Please correct the listing with the additional items for a good hunting experience without obstacle and confusion.

Camo jacket and pant (thicker for winter, lighter for spring/summer), shooting gloves, hunting boots with outdoor socks, cap or wool hat, expedition compass watch, binocular/spotting scope, camo backpack (e.g. Camelbak Ranger with hydration), large game bag, rope to drag hunted deer, measuring weight and points, knifes for field dressing, ration & instant warming kits, optional gps device, optional digital camera...

During the winter, is it wise to wear the bright orange vest and/or cap to warn other hunters nearby?
rancy c, LOL. I said "optional" gps, I've seen the expensive brands like Garmin eTrex Vista HCX. I don't mean to list every thing that I intend to buy, just trying to get down to basics. I dunno if a binocular is necessary at all. 1st I pass hunter ed course and practice rifle shooting in hundreds of rounds at outdoors range then I will get hand on it, and I will contact a fellow hunter to join the expedition. It'll take a few months before I'm ready, so it's best to prepare with some experience gained before progressing on to big game (if lucky to win in lottery) in a few years if I stick with it.

He couldn't sleep. He'd been awake all night long going over, and over his plans to kill the man whose been driving him mad everyday.
"5:30am. The man goes to work," Paul says to himself. "12:30, lunch break. 1:00, returns to work. 3:00, get's off work. 3:30, drives to girlfriends house. 4:00, returns home. I'll make my move here."

2 months earlier...

"Where do he go? Damn, where did he go?" Paul asked himself while he followed the man whom he would murder next. "There he is."
He watched as the man parked in front of a two-story, white house. He parked his '88 Chevy Astro a few houses down from the house, and watched as the man entered the house belonging to a Asian woman, who greeted him with a peck on his cheek.
He waited in his Astro, binoculars glued to his face. He watched, and waited; waiting for when the man was done with the woman so he could finish the job.
Finally the man left the house, kissing the Asian woman one last time. He got in his car and left. He followed.
He followed the man to an old abandoned house surrounded by woods. This was his last stop, his home. This was where he would make his move, between the man's walk from his car to his front door. He'd make it quick, and silent.
"Your life is so boring," Paul said. "I'm doing you a favor."

Paul drove back to his old house which was an old apartment complex, going over the times and places the mysterious man went to.
The next day Paul went to the mall and bought several things such as a hunting knife used for skinning, black gargoyle mask, aluminum baseball bat, sex doll, and a pair of black steel toed boots.
Paul drove back to his house and went down to his basement tied the sex doll onto a chair and torturing it, planning how to torture the man.
As the months went by and as the stalking increased, Paul knew it was time to kill the man.
That night Paul could not rest, he lay awake all night carefully planning every move.
The following morning Paul throws everything in his van… well not the torn up sex doll.

At 2:24pm Paul went to a Fast Food restaurant and ordered a number 2. Anxious to kill the mysterious man he devours the food in less than 5 minutes.
At 4:00pm Paul drove to the man’s house but realized no one was home so he drove to the man’s girlfriend’s house and realizes he is still there. “This man is going to kill me”, Paul says to himself. As the man leaves his girlfriends house around 9:42pm
It takes them 20 minutes to get to the man’s house. The man leaves his car and enters the house, Paul parks a block away observing him as he left to bed, Paul leaves the astro putting on the gargoyle mask put the knife into his pocket and placed the baseball bat leaning on the front door. Paul entered very slowly and cautiously going up the stairs and opening the door to his bedroom. The man was already fast asleep, and then Paul grabbed a shirt lying on the ground the nametag said ‘Richard’ “huh” said Paul. Getting closer to the bed Paul grabs a pillow and puts it over Richard. Richard starts to struggle and gets off the bed and right hooks Paul. Paul falls to the ground in agony. Richard runs out of the house into the woods. Paul eventually catches up; Richard is being chased through the woods by a Serial killer. Paul tackles Richard down and drags him down to his basement and grabbing the baseball bat while entering the house. He ties him up in a chair and starts to punch him, then kicks him with the steel toe boots until his leg is gushing with blood the stabs. While enjoying seeing Richard being tortured and crying in agony, he decides its time to end this. He stabs him in the stomach, Richard is gagged puking all over the place Paul is stabbing him viciously “watching your face is priceless”, says Paul.
“Don’t worry no one will ever find you… I’m sure they will look hard but I only know that you’re buried in my backyard.” Stabbing him in the neck it’s Cialis over.

Paul puts the body into a garbage bag and drags it to the astro driving back to his house burying him 6 feet below the surface of earth.
After that unfortunate day 20 people have been killed by Paul. No point in running if you run you’ll suffer a worse fate… so don’t run just face your doom.

What to do about a neighbor that surveils my property?

I own a vacant tract of land that we use for farming and hunting. The neighbor doesn't care for us and we don't speak. He has set up a very elaborate surveillence system and watches us. It's pretty creepy. He uses binoculars, drugstore turns all the lights off in his house in the evening if we show up, has outdoor switches and motion trips. It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard of. He and his wife scramble like mice when we come out there to turn on cameras and watch us on in-house monitors. We've seen him creeping around in the bushes and hitting switches that he's set up in strategic areas.

Anyway, it freaks me out. Is there any recourse? I feel like I'm being stalked, but I don't think it fits the technical definition of stalking. We've tried to get a restraining order, but were denied for lack of evidence. What should we do? We live in SC.
Yeah, I know that I have no right to privacy. I just don't like the feeling of being monitored. I was hoping there was a secondary action that we could get him for.

As for protecting us, he wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire. In fact he has set fire to some of our equipment, vandalized stuff, but I can't prove it. Our tractor lights shined on his house once and he tried to have us arrested for being peeping toms! He harrassed us with the cops so much we had to threaten a suite with the police department to get them to knock it off.

He's been more quiet lately, but it'll start again when hunting season opens.
Can't set up our own cameras because he'll destroy them when we're not there or accuse of peeping he's got a kid and we don't...He's used that angle a lot and the cops sympathize with him, or used to anyway.

Tried to "back at you stuff" for a while. Got bored with it.
We used to speak until the crazy came out. He used to brag about doing it to the farmer on the other side of him. He used to also tell everyone that all the surrounding farmland is his. He has a small lot in the middle of it. Just a miserable, angry little man.
