Hunting License & Deer Tags…..6′+ of toilet paper to mark blood trails and backtrack if needed (Also if you get cut short-nature wise) Hunting Knife,Small nylon rope for Deer drag or field dressing,Safety harness for treestand hunting.Cell Phone for help or emergencies. Don’t forget to let your family or someone close to you know where you are going to be and an approximate time you will return…This by itself could save your life….
Make sure your broadheads are razor sharp.* Knife for dressing out your deer.* Rope or string to pull your bow up & down.*Limit your shooting range to a maximum of 35yards, preferably closer.* Flashlight if needed.*
A hook that screws on to the tree to put your quiver, flashlight and battaries, mosquito spray (don’t put it on unless you have to), rope to hoist the bow up in the tree, knife, and I’m sure i’ll think of some more things…
Leave the binoculars (not needed), horns, and doe pee at home because you’re about a month away from using that. Using this products may bring in 1 deer, but it will scare 99.
Camo gloves, perhaps an arm guard for shooting. It’s always been a part of my wardrobe. Even though I’ve shot bow for 25 years, I still glance one off of the ol’ forearm every now and then.
I’d get one of those ‘night eyes’ LED lights you clip to the brim of your hat, just in case.
Always remember too, wear appropriate clothing. It’s going to be warm for awhile yet, you won’t have layers under your clothing, so practice each way; with and without layers of clothing depending on the temp. Good luck!
I’m going to try to get a few does this year and just have them made into burger. I make sloppy does…. fawn-jitas…
I would recommend bringing a handheld GPS if you have one. It’s easy to get lost and being able to backtrack is very handy. Plus when you are doing your pre season scouting, you can mark the locations where you see the deer or a good place for a stand. A knife for field dressing, I use a small winch to haul the deer up into the tree to field dress it, but if you want to muscle it, a rope over a branch will do just as well. We get some pretty heavy mulies, so I prefer to keep my back in one piece,
I prefer to field dress the deer while it is hanging to avoid getting the internals on the meat and keeping ground crud out of the body cavity as well. Plus usually where I hunt it’s pretty mountanious and I usually go with other hunters, so we hang our deer out and leave them hanging until everyone is done then we all go out and haul the deer in. Much easier when 4 people are carrying a deer out and up steep hills and heavy underbrush.
You might want to take a knife to gut your deer with. I think you should buy a grunt tube specially in the early part of the season the deer are not in rut yet so you want the woods to as much like normal as it can be, get in your tree stand and be patient maybe a nice buck will be walking around looking for food.
both of these calibers are very nice, but with all do respect the best yet most under rated deer rifle is the .243. It’s the fastest, most flat shooting rifle made. not much rise and fall. I killed a 10pt last year at 310 yrds and still pierced the heart. And since they are so under rated you can buy them cheaper too. I have the Remington model 700 .243 and in my opinion is the best rifle ever made. Happy hunnting guys!
well what i would do is by a map of the hunt area i have a tag for and find all the ranches/private land and just contact the owners and ask
where at in illinois did you kill this buck, why to go coyotes
lets laugh together in these tough times,
It shouldnt be a problem. Have someone get any notes for you. It might not be a bad idea to mention it to the professor. They are usually understanding. The only problem you could have if there was a test on that day. Most tests are announced in a syllabus at the beginning of the semester. You could have trouble making it up depending on the school's and professor's policies.
I need to get some camo gear sometime and i need some ideas of the best pattern for bowhunting/riflehunting in northern California. By the way i wont be in a tree stand.

I like a Six-Pin Sight that is what I shoot
It's not that difficult. after you do it you develop your own method. I hang my deer head down, slit the hide from the tail down the back of the rear legs and peel the hide downward. Places that don't want to separate from the carcass , use a sharp knife as you go.
(PhysOrg.com) — It’s a question that has captured the imagination of Keystone State deer hunters and wildlife lovers: Has increased predation on helpless deer fawns by an growing population of Eastern coyotes resulted in dwindling whitetail numbers across Pennsylvania’s rugged northern reaches? The answer is no, according to a deer researcher in Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.
