Whether a novice or a veteran deer hunter, you must prepare for the actual hunt. Do you have what you need? Do you have protection from the weather? Do you have something to eat?

Before Hunting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Before the season opens, one should site in the gun. Be sure to have plenty of ammunition for the hunt; this is sighting in with the same ammunition.<\/li>\n
  2. Have your permits ready.<\/li>\n
  3. Scout the area. Where and when do the deer pass?<\/li>\n
  4. Wash your hunting clothing in desensitized.<\/li>\n
  5. Set up your tree stand or blind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    At The Hunt<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Obvious items like your gun and ammo<\/li>\n
    2. Deer call<\/li>\n

    4. Small knife<\/li>\n
    5. cell phone or walkie-talkies<\/li>\n
