Rookelkhunter,

I assume public land where he can get a tag, plus grass, water, thermal cover, and escape cover.

On this one I am going to have to recommend that before you " set the scene" for us that your " Alabama friend" has got a bit more homework to do before things can be very constructive on this topic. This topic isn' t as easy as say, " What all should I bring?" One could write a small book or film a video regarding your question, so it' ll be more efficient for your southern friend to get the book than for us to write it.... don' t take me wrong -- this isn' t intended as a snub -- just that it' s too broad for it to work out very well.

FYI -- check out this forum on page 2, " First elk hunt coming up this fall!!!" -- Big TK got his ducks in a row before jumping in on this type of question -- I' d recommend the same for your southern friend.

BTW, we have a group from Mississippi who hunt in our area each year and they are hard core hunters.
