Hey everyone,
There are 100s of “any recommendations on first hunt?” posts on here that I am combing through and so far have gathered tons of great knowledge and recommendations.
But I will attempt at livening this subject up a bit in the interest of all the folks who are dedicated in helping the newbies out.
I drew an archery mule deer tag for Colorado unit 18 (includes 181, 27, 37, 371, 28) and will be out for 4-5 days when the season opens.
This is my first backcountry hunt (sorry old timers- you got another new guy out there stomping around).
So for all you guys with the experience/anyone with the wisdom I’m sure to gain during this hunt- what was is one thing you wish you did different for your first go ‘round? The one thing you forget/didn’t take into account?
I’m planning a 4-5 day backpack hunt in the high country and have a decent military background that’s prepared me for some of the conditions and rigors of the backcountry. I think I’m all good on gear and will be able to scout the area 1-2 times a week away from the hunt.
I will happily except any/all recommendations on here.
Anyone who wants to drop some knowledge or help out on PM I’d also greatly appreciate it as I’d love to start some conversation to mitigate the inevitable dumb things I’m sure to do.
Here to be a sponge and soak up everything I can before heading out.
Thanks everyone!
