Permits and Materials

            Being already three days into archery season for deer, it’s time to start getting ready for the hunt. However, where do you begin? Well, that all depends on are you going to hunt with a bow or a rifle. Like I said, archery season is already open. In fact, it’s the longest season, from September 11th to December 31st, excluding the extended antlerless season in January. Rifle season is only from November 29th to December 10th. No matter the case, here are the permits and materials needed to start your hunt.
            Assuming everyone reading this is over the age of 18, that’s the legal age to buy a rifle, we need to discuss permits and paperwork that you must have and carry. In order to hunt by yourself, there is a class that you must take. Hunter’s Education is a class that not only teaches hunters of safety precautions with their gun, but also how to be safe around other hunters. At the end of this class you receive your personal hunter’s identification number.
Using this number, you can now purchase a hunting license that is good for a year.
Yet, there is still one more permit you need to purchase and that is a deer tag. This will be tagged to the deer once you kill it.
So, in order to hunt this season, have your hunter’s education, hunting license, and deer tag with you at all times this season.
            Obviously, there is another material that is needed to hunt at the bare minimum. Yes, a bow for archery season or a rifle for rifle season. There are many choices when it comes to what bow or rifle to carry, but I will go over equipment setup in the next blog. Now, I also understand there is a list of other materials that make hunting easier on yourself, and that will also be stated in a future blog that I’m excited to get to. Stick around and keep reading because next week I’ll be going over the bulk of the season and that is setting up your bow and/or rifle.

See you next week,
