Hunters Frequently Asked Questions

If you are traveling by plane or land vehicle, you will have different considerations for your hunting site. By plane, you need more items furnished at the site so traveling isn’t a huge task and a security check nightmare. If you are lucky enough to travel by vehicle, you can carry most of your needs with you. If you have a year ’round lease, you can visit the site several times and set up things just the way you want them from linens to blinds (as in deer blinds and duck blinds).

Whether by plane or land vehicle, pack any prescription medications in water-proof carry-on or close by. Always pack an extra day or two of prescription drugs, in their original containers. You may be having so much fun you don’t want to leave. Most small town pharmacies can give you a pill or two, and even the big chains are accommodating if you have tried to be prepared but get caught short.
