Gear You will Absolutely need!
|
| Ok lets gear
up. First off we'll cover guns for each type of hunting . Every set up
is a little bit different and each one has a particular gun that best suits
your hunt.These are some general proven calibers that we think will work
well for you in a variety of set ups.Prefered calibers will be listed below
under the appropriate game with bullet reccomondations also. |
| Next we will
move onto clothing items . South Carolina has some great weather and some
real lousy weather . It is not unusual to be sweating bullets during January
or shivering in September . A wide variety of layered clothing is best.Bug
tamers are highly reccomended. |
| Footwear :
Waterproof!!! Cant stress this enough , we are in South Carolina folks
and it is lowland. While you might think your feet will be real dry high
up in the air perched in a stand , what happens when you have to cross
a slough to get to your stand? Sitting on stand in wet feet isnt my idea
of fun. Snakes are present on all of our hunting lands for the better part
of our seasons , I and David both use Rocky Outback snakeboots. We have
been very impressed with not only the mental security they bring but the
waterproof 16 " height. They work wonders for our feet. |
| Camo : whatever
works for you ! Head nets and gloves are a must ,one for camo coverage
and two for bug control. I personally hunt with Mossy Oak Break-up, Dave
uses Advantage patterns and we both have great success. Many of our stands
are blind types where your visual exposure to wildlife is minimal.None
the less you want a good camo that has a variety of applications. |
| general items
: binoculars , calls ,scents ect , camera , drivers liscense (for obtaining
your hunting liscense) , seat pads , coolers for game transport ,bug spray
(unscented for big game hunting), knife , rope , flashlight with xtra batteries
,some form of Blaze Orange. This isnt required by law but we ask that you
display some coming and going from the woods.We like to know where you
are and hunt alot of low light conditions. |
| These are
just some of the basics , we prefer you come overprepared than under prepared
! Had one guy show up with a dozen turkey decoys last year , I thought
we might be going goose hunting.Specifics will be listed below in the appropriate
catagory. |
