Hunting list/ HELP needed
« on: October 11, 2006, 06:46:06 PM »
I am preparing for my deer hunt and went to pull up my master list of what to take deer hunting and it is gone.  Does anyone have a list to share to help jog my memory and get my list put back together.  I am talking a 5 day trip deer hunting in my outfitters tent.  Help please!
Every cloud has a silver lining (except for the mushroom shaped ones, which have a lining of Iridium & Strontium 90)
