Going North...
 

I'm going to be taking a trip to Pennsylvania this year to coyote, and spring turkey hunt.
I've never been out of the South, and I'm not sure what to expect exactly. Does anyone have any tips or advice on what stuff needs to be taken, and what I need to prepare for?
I will be staying with a friend up there, so I'm not going to be alone up there, but I just thought maybe someone who has been there/done that, could help me out a little.
Thanks,
SH[8D]

good luck southern huntress hope you get a buch

and yeah if your going up north then I guess you need to take some good insulated camo its pretty cold down here in south bama right now I dont know how it is up north but I bet theres snow on the ground somewhere :-)

RE: Going North...
 

Bring good light weight camo, gloves and a head net because there will be mosquitoes and ticks. It won't be cold just cool in the morning and it gets real warm once the sun comes up and you are hiking all over looking for a bird. Get a turkey vest to carry spare cloths like a camo hooded sweat shirt for when it is cool and to carry the bird out that you will get. Good luck lots of turkeys and beautiful country.

WHAT PART OF PENNS. WILL YOU BE HUNTING :)

If you drink Dr. Pepper, take them with you. All I got in D.C. was stupid looks and Mr. Pibb when I asked for them.

I think it's north if Harrisburg-a place called Millerstown.

RE: Going North...
 

HAHA! Okay, I will be taking some then. My friend up there didn't know what okra or grits were, and that scared me-but Dr. Pepper!?!

RE: Going North...
 

you might also want to think about getting one of those new bug repellers that are battery operated, i can't recall their name, but am definately thinking about getting one for myself.. grits, who in the heck would ever want to eat those things( lived in va, thought that was the worst trick someone could ever do to someone else, order grits at a restraunt, then have to pay for those nasty things, lol.) you can find dr. pepper just fine, lol, i found it about impossible down south to find it, had to settle for mr. pibb. or, you could always settle for the dr. thunder from wal-mart, tastes like both.

RE: Going North...
 

What is special about the battery operated one??I was just wondering, I mean I'm spending enough $$ on the trip, but if there is some reason I NEED to get the battery one, then I look into it.
Anyway,
I guess your grits weren't fixed right.lol I love that stuff for breakfast, along with fried eggs-man it's good!
I like it with lots of butter, salt and pepper, but I've also had it with butter and sugar-fixed like oatmeal or whatever.
BTW~My parents owned a restaurant a few years ago, and I waitressed and we served grits. Chocolate gravy too, and never got a complaint.lol
Guess if it's not a southern thing, then it must be an Arkansas thing.lol

the reason i am looking into the battery operated one is that it is supposed to keep a pest free zone around you for 225?sq ft, i believe it is. and the bugs are just unmerciful once they hatch, so that's why i am looking into, plus i will be able to use it at night when fishing, or in the fall while bowhunting, or when i hit maine for bear in spet., or when.. well, i bet you get the picture, lol. tell you what, bring some grits, i'll meet you in pa for breakfast, give them another try. but i bet it wouldn't beat a breakfast of moose steakes and french toast, w' the french toast drowning in real vt maple syrup( best in the country, just ask me, i'll tell ya so!) beats the fake stuff hands down. or you could just skip pa and hit vt so i won't have to travel for the gritts, waddaya say? but bring your winter boots, you are just as likely to be hunting in a snowstorm in early may as you are warm temps.

Wow! I guess that battery one would be helpful.lol We use bee nets and suits here, to keep the crow-sized skeeters out.lol

Okay, it's a deal, I provide the grits...lol But I just might be willing to compromise, and try that moose steak-but just once.lol
Hey, I have a friend in Vt, and he is going to make a trip down here to hunt soon-might have to settle for that.lol

RE: Going North...
 

What the hell is a grit?
And you don't need to bring anything special to hunt up here. OFF will work just fine....Turkey's don't wind you. And as far as clothing, one extra sweat shirt should do. Have fun

RE: Going North...
 

FYI~ I grit is a Girl Raised In The South, but grits are a food that southerners eat-most southerners that is.
Don't worry, I will have fun.;)
