RE: bare necessities of deer hunting...
Gotta have; alicense,a deer, a gun, a bullet.
Worth carrying if you got 'em, any kind of sharp knife, a piece of hack saw blade, 20' of pull up line, may be an extra bullet.
A hatchet will do instead of a knife if that'swhat youalready have. Sharpen it up with a file and a stone and it's pretty easy to gut a deer withone, and then you don't need the hack saw blade.
