Preparing for the Hunt

This is a very important step in making sure you have a safe and successful hunt. Before you ever step foot into the field, you should spend some time planning your hunt. This is a great way to spend your time before the hunting season opens!

First you must decide what type of hunting you want to do, and where you can go to do it safely and legally.

The first step always is to get a copy of your state's hunting regulations for the current year. Study it for any changes or new rules and be sure you understand the seasons and bag limits for the area and game you are planning to hunt. If you need advice, call the local office of your state or provincial fish and game department.
