[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5533604, member: 23329"] No one has mentioned this hunting basic: a good woman. I took mine out for her first time ever a couple days ago and she took a nice little buck. First time using this rifle. It went well. This isn't a basic you take out with you, but knowing who your processor is, where your processor is, and their hours and a phone number in case you arrive later than their normal seasonal receiving hours. Also, knowing the property id or other id for online registering for the deer and the web address or having it ready on your phone. It took me what seemed like forever after getting my first deer to get the online stuff figured out. Be better than that. Oh, and know how you're going to move the deer from a sled (how will you lift it by yourself onto a 4wheeler?) to the vehicle if taking it for processing (will likely need a second person if no other way rigged to lift it) or have your hanging up outside stuff figured out. In other words, don't have anything planned for at least a couple hours after your hunting time is over the first time. Another prep...walk a lot in the off season and lift weights in all sorts of odd positions because that deer will make you sore before the evening is over. We found my last one down in a nasty ravine with his ground side antlers wrapped around a tree. That was work getting him out. Was sore in places I didn't know existed. lol. [/QUOTE]
