RE: What too buy list for a newbie?
Sounds like you are off to a good start, I would suggest the following minimum:
* Camo Clothes...face mask.....hat......
* Good Boots
* flash light
* fanny pack
* grunt call
* safety harness
* small dia. rope or twine to pull bow up.
* Spray on Scent killer
* one or two different kinds of scent lure.
* marking tape for marking way into woods while tracking and marking distances.
* folding tree saw for trimming limbs
* water bottle
