RE: Mule Deer Hunting Essentials?
My advice is to sit down and mentally walk through your day from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Go through each activity and write down what you will need to accomplish it.
Do the same with your meals.
Then do some what ifs, for emergency planning.
That is pretty much your list of stuff you will need.
Each guys list is different because we may go about things differently.
