If you want to have a successful hunt instead of just a pleasing series of long walks in the woods while carrying a Firearm (not that there's anything wrong with the latter), it would be a great idea to plan your strategy well in advance, and make sure that all contingencies have been provided for. To avoid frustrations and have a successful hunt, you need to plan your trip and pack all the things accordingly. If you're with a hunting guide, he sure knows what list of things you need. His list of things may not be enough but you can always add a few things if you like. Also, if you can afford to have professional guide hunt, you know that what you're paying for is the knowledge of the guide who knows the hunting ground. How to get in, how to get out, what's in there right now, and when it's likely to be there later. You also need to consider the things you prepare suits with your hunting destination.
Getting lost can kill you. So, you need to do your homework. Analyze the terrain where you plan to hunt. Topographical maps and, today, even Google Earth printouts are available to you. Print them out! Or you may ask for a leaflet in the city you are visiting before you go hunting. Place them on plastics to proof them from rain or snow. A much greater and more important part of that worth is that they will help to keep you from being lost. It is also wise to check on weather conditions to decide if it's a good day for hunting or not.
Carry a compass. Know how to navigate that turf. We live in the time of GPS. It marks you as someone smart enough to use every advantage when doing something potentially dangerous to yourself. Also, somewhere in your community are the hunters who fill out their maximum bag limit every season. These are the masters of their craft to whom you would be wise to apprentice yourself, particularly if you are new to this. They know where the deer are in your area. They know what those particular deer eat. They know where those particular deer like to drink. They know the best times and places to find those deer, and they know the difference between looking for them on opening day, and toward the end of the season when hunting pressure has driven them deeper into their natural cover. And you'll be surprised at how many of them will share that knowledge with you.
The most important thing you don't want to forget is your packhunting gear to include your rifle, the sling, the Ammunition (50 rounds should be enough), side-arm and the cleaning kit. Having rifle scopes mounted to your weapon makes hunting more successful than just using it plainly. You can get out to the woods early and stay late with rifle scopes. Nikon Buckmaster Rifle Scopes best fits this description. With its 92% light transmission means you are covered, both early and late. When shooting at dusk or dawn use a lower power and you will be just fine with the brightness. All lenses treated with Nikon's anti-reflective multicoating for increased performance. Hand-turn 1/4-MOA reticle adjustments for precise sight-ins and in-the-field adjustments. Quick-Focus eyepiece. Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for guaranteed waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance. Nikon Buckmaster Rifle Scopes are a great value for the money and are highly recommended by many Gun enthusiasts all over the world.
After the long day of hunting, you will definitely need to warm yourself with dry clothing. You must also not forget your sleeping bag to make yourself comfortable when you want to rest and a blanket to warm yourself in the freezing cold of the night. One thing you should also not forget is the first aid kit which is very essential. In case you would need to extend the days of hunting, supply of your food must be enough for you.
Plan for your hunt. Keep safety first. Be fair to the animal and to yourself. The sooner you start laying the groundwork, the more likely it becomes that your endeavor will be successful. Bottom line, use common sense when planning and packing your trip.
