First Time Hunter, advice?

[Dredly]

There's no need to carry an entire roll of TP....Take one from the bathroom when it gets down to about 1/4 in thick of paper left on the roll, or some napkins from last nights outing to McD's, or some Sunoco towels you took while filling up. You don't need enough to wrap a mummy, just enough to cover the unexpected wilderness loaf pinch....

Paper towels? ouch....

Call me over cautious but if I'm more then 1/2 a mile from a bathroom I'm prepping for the worst shit of my life, cause I know thats when it would happen... the kind where as soon as you are done cleaning up it hits again a few more times... yeah that one.

If I were you I would prepare to get some blood on your hands and know how to process your kill. A good place to start is YouTube where you can type in "deer processing" or something appropriate. You can learn a lot by watching how others gut their animals. Hunting isn't just about killing. It's about putting meat in your freezer.

WOW glad I have an experienced hunter taking me out this year for my first time! All this thread did so far was remind me was that I might need to wipe my arse!


Seriously though, everything seems to be deer deer deer... any thoughts on pointers for migratory bird hunting?

That was the biggest challenge when I started hunting. Getting the deer field dressed was as great a challenge as dropping it. Experienced hunters can do it in their sleep, so if you can hunt with a few, it would be worth your time.

Make sure you can make an ethical shot. There are many Mosins out there that produce 1 foot groups at 100 yards. You can find expanding bullets in your caliber at Gander Mountain and Cabela's. If you can, hunt with an experienced hunter to give you some pointers both before and after the kill.

Good luck. Hope you bag a big one this year.

Seriously .... toilet paper (or baby wipes)

Especially if you are going to a camp with a couple other people. There is nothing like being out in the woods and getting the beer shits from the couple you had the night before.

I've that happen to me....I forgot my toilet paper so I had to cut up my tee shirt and wound up with a half a tee shirt
