Thread: Rookie mistakes!

Don't forget to take arsewipe...

Gear checklist is a good idea.

Baby wipes are a good way to keep clean and fresh on longer hunting trips where water is scarce.

Leave a map at home with the missus/mate marked with where you are leaving the vehicle, where you will be staying/camping and your general hunting area will be. Good back-up to having a PLB.

Water bladders with drink bottle lids are great for hunting: don't slosh around when half full and roll up to nothing when empty.

Always take a raincoat, even if the forecast shows clear skies.

Good boots are worth their weight in gold. Can't hunt with f_cked feet.

Deer will pop up where you least expect them, so keep your rifle within arms reach at all times.

Most importantly, ear plugs are a necessity when staying at a hut or sharing a tent with a mate, because every f_cker snores in the bush!
