Hoping to chase some deer this fall. Just finished the online portion of the VT basic hunter safety course; scheduled the field day for October. Been watching youtube videos on how to field dress, skin, etc.
This is the list of stuff I'm planning to take with me in the field (in addtion to rifle and ammo):
- Deer tag
- Knife (plus a backup)
- Field sharpener
- Either a bone saw or hatchet (for breaking the pelvic bone)
- game bag
- latex gloves
- basic survival kit (compass, firestarter, sewing kit, first aid kit, etc, etc, etc)
- blaze orange clothing
- some TP (just in case)
- plastic trash bag
- snacks and water
- Otis cleaning kit
What am I forgetting? Any other tips?
Thanks in advance for your help/advice.
