Excellent point, Matt--don't know how I left that one off. Hey wait a minute--are you saying it has something to do with that distinction you just made! lol So here's the revised list:
James' first deer hunting trip equipment list:
Rifle-accounted for by AlaskanMatt(model & caliber TBD) Scope- accounted for by JG Raider (Simmons Whitetail) Bases-offers on the table, but TBD, based on rifle Rings- Scope lens caps/scope cover- Sling- Rifle case- Bulletbutt? (Maybe PM me if you are still up for it) A box or two of ammo (TBD, based on above) Hunting knife-accounted for by Toad (Ingram) Blaze orange hunting hat and/or vest- Gloves- Grunt tube/rattling antlers? (if you�re a proponent of one, here�s a chance to make a convert, lol!) Binoculars- Day pack-
Again, anything else I�m forgetting? Odds and/or ends that you have that you think might help?
Actually, I was referring to my own past mistakes. I shot a black bear last year and had to hike back to my fourwheeler to retreive my knives and game bags.
