If all of the "do's" are taken care of there should'nt be many "don'ts" to worry about.so I'll give some "do's"


Do your homework on where and how you are going to hunt.
Do travel lite if on foot.This can be done and still have the supplies you need if you get into trouble.
Do know your limits.If you take an elk 5 miles back,can you get it out?
Do bring power bars and water.Power bars may not taste like gourmet but they WILL keep your energy UP!Water is heavy.Invest in a water BOTTLE purifier.You can get water on the trail most everywhere in warm weather. In cold weather you may only have to break through a little ice to get water.Put a hand warmer in the empty bottle to keep the filter from freezing.

Just a couple of things.
