The Joys of a First Hunt
Shells. Check. Calls. Check. Realtree Camo. Check. License and tags. Check. The joys of the first hunt of the season. After checking everything two and three times over I usually go to bed the night before with the gut feeling I’m forgetting something. On a turkey hunt last spring with an eager young hunter, I went through the checklist and seemed to hit all the boxes. Besides, I have extras of just about everything packed to be able to handle any situation.
Fast forward to a morning full of gobbling, several encounters, and an eastern long beard at 25 yards offering to be turned to the young hunters first punched tag. There just happened to be a minor problem at the moment of truth. After a brief story time conversation with her father, I came across a box that never got checked. It wasn’t the tag or licenses as those were ready to be filled. The gun was patterned and ready to “bark.” The visual aid was the issue here. While some people need coffee to be civil in the mornings, this young hunter needed glasses to see distances. That long beard next to the hen at 25 yards looked about the same. She was not sure of her target and we cannot be mad about this. My checklist? That’s the reason for concern.
It was our first hunt together and while we are cousins, we have never hunted together. I did not know the right questions to ask her. Secondly, the checklist was catered to me not her. Everyone has a different checklist and this is something we get to address on a daily basis in helping clients buy and sell property across the country.
As a Realtree Land Pro, I get to check boxes on a daily basis. We have checklists when buying and selling properties for our clients. Maximize property exposure. Check. Top market price. Check. Investment potential. Check. Cabin building site. Check. Wildlife habitat. Check. We handle these checklists personally for all of our clients, on a daily basis. In addition, we have checklists that our clients often do not think of immediately including mineral rights, water rights, agricultural taxes, surveys, timber value and more. Every client, every property, and every intended use has a different checklist.
If you’re looking to buy or sell, the first box you need to check is finding a Realtree Land Pro. With a lifelong investment, there are some boxes you do not want to miss. Each property and each individual has different checklists. There is no need to go it alone. The right agent in your corner can be the difference in an empty box, or a check in any box whether buying or selling. Check your first box and reach out to a Realtree Land Pro today.

Hunting Gear for Hunting Trips
The great outdoors provides many one-of-a-kind sights and hobbies for those who enjoy getting away from it all. No matter its’ a short drive or a weekend trip taking the time to enjoy nature is important no matter if it’s camping, fishing, or hunting. However, a good trip requires you to be prepared and have the right equipment. As hunter companies like Hinterland Outfitters help by providing the newest and best in hunting equipment of all types. While a good rifle is perhaps your most essential piece of equipment it’s not the only thing you need to make a trip safer, easier, and more fun.
What to Bring on a Hunting Trip
When getting ready to go on a hunting trip it’s important to be prepared while you may not need every item on this list you’re sure to find some of them useful and will certainly be grateful you have them on hand.
- Paperwork: like many things hunting involves paperwork and if you encounter game wardens you need to have yours in order. You need your hunting license, a state-issued ID such as a driver’s license, deer tags, and any other legal certifications or identifiers that may be required in your state or the state you’re hunting in. Hunting documentation can be highly specific for example here are the types of documents used in the state of Texas. In addition, if you’re hunting on private land be sure to ask for permission and fill out any paperwork if they have a formal process for visiting hunters.
- Gear: naturally, you’ll need a hunting rifle (or bow if you’re into bow hunting) but don’t forget other key items such as ammo (including proper storage), calls, binoculars, a good light source, portable food, toilet paper, water, and a sturdy backpack to bring it all in. Also,when out in the field these items may not be critical, but they can still make the trip easier and less stressful. So don’t be afraid to pack batteries, towels, a two-way radio, matches, a seat cushion, and hand warmers with you.
- Clothing: a good hunter should be dressed for the environment they are in. So if it’s raining be sure to have the right jacket on hand and if it’s cold you’re going to want to layer properly using long underwater and a lined jacket. If you’re going to be moving through a heavily wooded area puncture-proof clothing can prevent scrapes and scratches. Also, you’ll want to check your state laws as many states require the wearing of a specific amount of orange clothing and/or an orange hat to legally hunt.
- Odds and Ends: after the hunt, you’ll want to have items handy such as gloves, a deer drag, a good cooler, processing knives, a saw, and specialty tools such as a butt-out game dressing tool. After a successful hunt, you want to be able to safely and easily transport any game you have killed and if hunting specific animals such as deer you’ll want to have specific tools to help.
Final Thoughts
A weekend hunting trip can be a relaxing, fun, and invigorating time however, without the right equipment it can quickly become frustrating. Taking the time to make sure you have what you need before the trip ensures you’re ready and prepared for the outdoors.
