AS MOOSE HUNTING SEASON ARRIVES HERE ARE SOME ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS



Before you head out the door on your next moose hunting excursion, there are certain items you'll want to make sure are making the trip with you.

So you're getting ready for moose hunting season and you think you've got everything packed up and ready to go. There's always something that can be overlooked, and often, that item is the one that you need the most.
Here are some things you definitely won't want to forget:
  • Rules and Regulations: Make sure you've studied up on the local rules and regulations of the areas you plan to hunt. Forgetting, or not knowing, the rules can lead to some intense interactions with law enforcement which can make things go sideways in a hurry. Don't forget to check regulations on motorized vehicles as well!
  • Share Your Plans: Make sure to share your location and hunting plans with your friends or family. Give them a time-frame you'll be out hunting. If something happens, you'll want someone to know you're missing!
  • Know The Weather: Check the forecast before you head out. It is also beneficial if you know the area's weather patterns during hunting season so  you can be prepared for the unexpected! Rest assured, the unexpected will happen more often than you think.
  • Recommended Equipment: Check out this detailed list of items and tools you should bring with you on the hunt to help with meat transport.

4 EASY WAYS TO AVOID TICKS

Tracy Schmidt Ticks seem to be everywhere when I go hunting. I encounter them in the woods, bushes, high grasses and leaf debris. They need heat and moisture to survive and can sense heat and carbon dioxide from a nearby host animal. There are 80 species of ticks in the United States, but only about a dozen are considered a health threat to humans.  The ticks I encounter the most are the deer tick and the wood tick.

These ticks hatch from eggs in spring and become nymphs during their first year of life. Blacklegged ticks (commonly called deer ticks) are the only ticks that carry Lyme disease.
