What To Bring

DUCK GOOSE AND PHEASANT HUNTS:

Shot Gun:

We recommend that you have at least a 20 gauge or larger shotgun with at least #2 shot or larger.

Ammunition ( at least 3 boxes )

Clothing

The weather during hunting season can be anything from 70's and sunny to 10 degrees with a foot of snow. The use of items that you bring will depend on the weather. Plan on weather from 10 to 70 degrees.. The warmth and breathe ability of cotton is hard to beat, but there are a lot of other synthetics on the market that work well too. Bring two pair of gloves, warm hat a heavy coat and warm socks (smart wools work good) and waders if you are Duck Hunting.

DEER HUNTS:

Gun Hunting

  • Deer Rifle
  • Ammunition
  • Hunter Orange Hat & Vest
  • Knife

Bow Hunting

  • Hard case for bow
  • Extra bow string
  • Compound bow stringer
  • Camouflage clothing in brown & grey colors
  • Extra peep sight
  • Broad heads 12-18 arrows per hunter
  • Camouflage paint

Bows, Broadheads

We recommend hunters use compound bows with a draw weight of between 60 to 80Lbs. We recommend fixed 3 bladed 100 -125 chisel tips

Ideally we want a complete pass through. Two holes in a deer means more blood flowing for a better trail.

Multi-pin sights are most common now and have replaced the adjustable single pin sights. Most common pins are 20 to 30yards.
