My rifle is sighted in so that can be crossed off.


Think SAFETY first! Get a safety harness & at least one article of orange (ie hat).
Secondly, stay legal! Remember your license, harvest card, pen. Don't trespass to hunt.
Dress WARM. Layers. Being cold will make your experience miserable. Best to over-dress when in doubt.
Bring/get a pair of binos. Trust me. Safer & easier than scanning with your rifle scope.
Thank your host! Insist on paying the guest fee! Buy them a meal after the hunt!
