Welcome back to Generations of Hunt! In this episode, Dave and I dive into the final gear prep for the hunting season. We've covered getting into shape, shooting practice, and running through your gear in previous weeks. Now, it's time to focus on the minutiae of your setup, especially your clothing and ensuring everything is quiet and efficient.
- Clothing Prep: Lay out all your hunting clothes, from base layers to outerwear, and check for any gaps or needed replacements. Consider the weight changes and ensure everything fits well.
- Socks: Don't underestimate the importance of good socks. Merino wool socks are highly recommended for their moisture-wicking properties.
- Totes for Organization: Using totes to organize your gear by season and type can make your prep more efficient.
- Silencing Gear: We discussed the importance of reducing noise from your gear. Using stealth strips, hockey tape, and paracord can help silence metal parts and prevent unnatural sounds in the woods.
- Testing for Noise: Record yourself walking with your gear to identify and address any noise issues.
- Lighted Nocks: Check your lighted nocks for cracks and ensure the batteries are fresh. Practice with lighted nocks to ensure accuracy.
- Battery Management: Replace batteries in your rangefinder, sight lights, and other electronic gear before the season starts.
- Self-Filming Tips: If you plan to film your hunts, ensure all your equipment is charged and ready. Practice setting up your camera arm and other gear to avoid frustration in the field.
- Pack Essentials: Evaluate what you actually need to bring into the woods. Consider a minimalist approach to reduce weight and increase mobility.
- Kill Kit: Decide whether to carry your kill kit with you or leave it in the car for retrieval after a successful hunt.
- Early Antlerless Season: Good luck to everyone heading out for the early antlerless season. It's a great opportunity to help manage the deer herd and practice your tracking skills.
Thank you for tuning in, and we hope these tips help you have a successful and enjoyable hunting season. Happy hunting!
