First Time

[Popere]

Well, my buddies and I have decided to hunt out of a wall tent this year. We will be hunting 3rd rifle season which is the first week of November. What sort of things would you guys suggest bringing other thatn the obvious?

Maybe you should post your "packing list" for review. That might generate some responses. Everyone can have a different idea of what "the obvious" is.
