Thread: What to bring for the first hunting day trip?

No worries, the whole Better Hunting course is worth a look in. It's easy to get dissuaded -- I say this as someone who is largely self-taught and still learning. Just think of your first hunt as the first in a series of hunts. @Happy Jack's points about enthusiasm and powers of observation are good ones. Sharpen your senses and learn the geography of where you would like to hunt. Figure out what the habits of the deer are, what they are feeding on etc. Over a few visits you will get a better picture of the landscape and eventually this will bear fruit.
