Do you have some type of budget in mind? How
often do you plan to hunt? These would both be
factors on a " bowhunting need list" that I would
put together for you.

Seeing that you are from Minnesota, I' d
recommend some high quality thermals, gloves/
mitts, boots, hat,...these will all be very
important when sitting on stand for hours
on end.Camo insulated bibs would be at the top
of my list, also.

I can' t imagine going bowhunting without one
of my backpacks, or at the least, a fanny pack.
These will be invaluable in hauling your gear
and extra clothing around.

Other items, in no particular order:

*Binoculars
*Rangefinder
*Pruning Saw
*Bow Retriever
*Camo Facemask
*Grunt Call
*Small 1st Aid Kit
*Backup Release Aid or Finger Tab
*Small Flashlight or Headlamp
*Hot Hands/disposable chemical hand warmers
*Large Portion of " Good Old Fashion Luck"

I' m sure I may have left something out here
and I didn' t get into camo clothing too much,
but this will give you an idea on some of the
things you may need.

Best of Luck
