Getting Prepared
Checklist: Preparing for a great hunt
Whether you are going for a weekend hunt just a couple of hours away, for a week in the Rockies, for a trek above the Arctic Circle, or on safari to
Africa or Mongolia, being prepared is always better than being sorry that you weren't prepared. The following packing list was developed for our
television show Engel's Outdoor Experience. You don't want to make mistakes and forget something. Sure, you don't need to take it all, but use this
guide to create your own checklist.
