A GOOD HUNTING TRIP REQUIRES GOOD PLANNING |
| Very often, what you do before a trip will determine how enjoyable the trip will be. Many great hunting trips have been ruined by lack of preparation. A gun fails, it rains and you have no rain suit, or a similar mishap occurs spoiling what could have been a perfect adventure. There are dozens of small things you can do before you leave that can make your trip much more pleasant. Offered here are some tips that will help you prepare for and better enjoy your future outing |
| |
MAKE A CHECKLIST |
30 days before you depart, make a checklist and start getting the items together. If you wait until the last minute, you run the risk of finding that something essential is "out of stock" locally. Be sure to include items of a personal nature as well as hunting gear. |
| |
TAKE RAINGEAR |
| Don't forget your rain suit. It's amazing how many people go on a trip and don't take any raingear. Even in areas where rain is not expected, take raingear. You will never regret it. |
| |
MARK YOUR GEAR |
Most sportsmen now use soft bags instead of hard luggage because air charter companies require it. It often seems that everyone at the lodge has shopped at the same store and many bags are identical. Use luggage tags or a permanent marking pen to put your name on each bag. Always mark your soft gun cases, too. They are very easy to confuse and misplace en route to and from the field. |
| |
TWO BAGS |
If you have two small bags, "split" your gear. Place half of your better clothing and rough field clothes in each bag. Then put half your film, underwear, shirts, pants, socks, etc., in each. If the airline loses one, your trip won't be completely spoiled. When you return, you can place all dirty clothing together in one bag. |
| |
CHECK YOUR GUNS |
| Check your guns thoroughly before you leave. Make sure that they are in perfect condition. If you have any doubts, have the guns serviced by a local gunsmith. Ask his advice about which parts are likely to fail or malfunction and bring spares. |
| |
PHOTOCOPY YOUR PASSPORT |
Make copies of the first two pages of your passport and stow them somewhere other than with your passport. While these copies won't serve as a passport, the vital information you will need is there if your passport is lost. |
| |
TAKE A FIELD BAG |
Bring a small bag with a handle that folds and fits compactly in your luggage. Make sure it is a field green or cameo color so it won't spook the birds. At the lodge you can fill it with what you want to take with you each day - sunscreen, insect repellent, raingear, spare parts, cameras and film, etc. |
| |
FIRST AID KIT |
Take along a small first-aid kit. It does not need to be very elaborate: just something to take care of nicks and scrapes; band-aids, antiseptic, tape and something for sunburn. This can often make a trip a little more comfortable. |
| |
CARRY SPARE EYEWEAR |
| When in the field, it is important to always wear glasses to protect you eyes from stray shot. Always carry spare sunglasses or clip-ons. Loss of these could mean a spoiled trip. |
| |
TAG YOUR BAG "INSIDE" |
| Place a note INSIDE your bag that says where you will be and for how long. If your bag gets lost and the airlines open the bag, they can forward it to your destination. If they have only the outside address, they will send it back to your home. |
| |
What to Bring |
| |
| SHOTGUNS: Beretta AL 390 Automatic (12 ga. and 20 ga.) are available for those clients choosing to eliminate paperwork and reduce cost. Personal shotguns are still permitted with standard application form and cost. 12 & 20 ga. available only. |
| |
QUAIL/DUCK/GOOSE HUNTING |
Weather: The weather during our "Winter Season" will average in the 60's. However, frequent cold fronts can drop temperatures close to freezing.
Clothing: Outfit for mild temperatures with one set of clothes for cold weather (30+) in the event a cold front passes. Bring an orange vest for quail hunts.
Footwear: Hip waders are sufficient for duck hunters. Snake chaps or boots are required for quail hunting.
Raingear: Light-weight rain suit or poncho |
| |
DOVE HUNTING |
| |
Weather: The weather during white-wing season is generally warm; in the mid 90's, so dress accordingly.
Field Colors: Doves "flare" from light or bright colors, consequently it is important to dress in field colors: light green, dark khaki or camouflage.
Slacks: For shooting, 2 or 3 pairs of light-weight cotton slacks in field colors. Evening temperatures are warm, so light cotton is appropriate for dinner.
Shorts: 2 or 3 pairs. Swimsuit: Bring one.
Shirts: For shooting, bring 4 to 6 short-sleeved, light weight cotton shirts in field colors. Long Sleeved Shirts: For sun protection only.
Footwear:For shooting, bring light-weight boots with a rigid sole. They should lace at least to the ankle. Cordura or cordura/leather combinations are great.
Hat: Sun protection is a must. For shooting use a wide-brimmed straw, canvas or poplin hat. As an alternative use a poplin baseball style cap.
Raingear: Light-weight rain suit or poncho.
Eyewear: Stray shot is always possible, so wear protective shooting glasses. |
