Angler & Sportsman Magazine August and September Edition

Shooting

One thing we know for sure is that deer hunters are not all the same. Some use the offseason to prepare months in advance, while others wait until just days before opening day to get ready. Then, there are those in between who place their preparation somewhere in the middle. This is a good reminder that hunters come in many forms. Still, no matter when the preparation begins, every hunter has the same important responsibilities to address before stepping into the woods. Let’s go over those essential steps.

If you’re a seasoned hunter, the first step is likely to take your rifle out of the safe, where it’s been stored, and give it a careful inspection. Make sure all the parts are in working order. For experienced hunters, this is usually a simple task, but those who are newer to deer hunting may need to take more time, just to be on the safe side.
