5 Basic Tips for Your Hunting Trip:

1. Leave family and friends a message with the following information:

  1. Define the exact location/area of where you plan to hunt.
  2. Include your expected time of return and latest time possible you will return so others can know that you are safe.
  3. Include vehicle information as well, including license plate number and other documentation. This is especially important if using a rental vehicle.

2. Check your equipment.

  1. Once you have completed your checklist, look over your equipment and be sure everything is in good working condition.
  2. Test any electronics to be sure they are working.
  3. Perform the proper maintenance precautions on any vehicles and essential equipment to be taken along on your trip.

3. Always carry proper identification.

  1. Be sure to use our Documents Checklist, and to keep proper identification and licenses with you at all times.

4. Avoid over packing or under packing.

  1. Before you head out on your hunting trip, double-check your checklist to be sure you have everything needed for the trip. This will help you to avoid an unnecessary trip to a local shopping center to buy things that you have forgotten to pack.
  2. Be sure to pack a lot, but remember that packing too much can make it a hassle to find things when you need them.

5. Know your location.

  1. When preparing for your trip, it is important to familiarize yourself with your destination. Knowing things such as the weather and the local rules and regulations could affect your trip.
  2. Also, refer to our many resources in Hunter’s Lodge in preparing for your trip.

The Hunting Trip Checklist is an attempt to provide a list of essential items. While not 100% complete for everyone's personal needs, the checklist is offered as a nearly complete list of items you'll need or may want to consider bringing with you on your next trip.

After using the checklist on a cycling trip, evaluate the effectiveness of the listed items. If you find some items or tricks-of-the-trade that would help in future trips, share them with your community here at eCountryLifestyle to make future hunting trips more fun and enjoyable for all.

Items in the checklist are suggested, but not all of them are necessarily essential items to take along. The items should be included when needed, at your convenience or ability to do so, which is why we make it easy for you to build your own modified checklist from the checklist we provide.
