A Hunting Checklist for Beginners

Whether you’re 15 or 50, there’s nothing more exciting than the anticipation of your first hunt. Making sure you’re prepared is a major key in calling the day a total success.
Naturally, there are obvious items like your license, but what if your first hunt suddenly turns into your first kill? Will you have what you need? Here’s a hunting checklist of things you should consider before you hit the woods “officially” for the first time.
Before your hunt, you’ll first want to check all the hunting regulations of the area you’re heading to. Whether that’s close to home, or in another state, you’ll need all the rules and regulations. Some rules can include the amount of orange you need to wear, how close you can hunt to homes or roads and what areas are legal or illegal to hunt.
Also, while you’re preparing for your hunt, purchase your hunting license, sight in the gun or bow you’ll use, and get any landowner permission necessary in the area you want to hunt. This information, and more, is located in the “Preparing for the Hunt” section of the hunting checklist above.
While you’re hunting, you’ll need all the common sense hunting gear: appropriate hunting clothes and hunting boots, a rifle or bow, ammo and backpack. However, some items aren’t as obvious for a new hunter. Scent attractant and scent reduction can be key in making your hunt successful. Hand and foot warmers can save you during a late Fall or Winter hunt. And a rain jacket will keep you dry when a storm rolls in. These are some items on the hunting checklist that not everyone thinks about until they’re out in the woods.

HUNTING FLOODED TIMBER: TIPS AND TRICKS

Kat Ainsworth Whether you’re about to wade into flooded timber for the first time or are a seasoned waterfowler looking for new ideas, this is for you. Hunting flooded timber is preferred over other methods by many duck hunters, for good reason. There’s nothing quite like it and for me, personally, it’s resulted in some of my favorite duck hunting memories. It’s church, only for waterfowlers; the towering oaks and shimmering water are the cathedral and the ducks flying overhead are the choir. Let’s get started on the sermon. Choose Your Spot…But Remain Fluid Selecting a location in green timber is about far more than simply wading into the trees and hoping for the best. Just as with hunting any species, scouting matters. Becoming familiar with the land and the locations the ducks prefer to congregate is a must.
