When it is time to go out on your hunting trip there are a few things that you absolutely need to do. A hunting trip can be one of the memories that last forever in a great way, or in a very bad way. You want to enjoy your hunt and you want to be successful, so there are a few things that you need to remember when it comes to your hunting trip. Here are a few different things to keep in mind as you prepare for your hunt:

Clothing Gear

It is a very good idea to analyze your hunting gear and see if you are in need of any new equipment. The problem that many people run into is they do not give themselves ample time to break in their new gear. If you need new hunting boots, be sure that you are breaking them in at least a month in advance. You do not want to be in the field breaking in new boots and have sore feet. The same goes with any other piece of equipment. It is important that you are familiar with and comfortable with all of your gear. 

Camping Gear

it is extremely hard to be at your best when you are not getting enough sleep or nourishment when you are at camp. Sleep and food are two of the most important aspects of a hunting trip. You will likely be doing a lot of hiking and it will be imperative that you have the right camping gear. You want to check your tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad for any problems. You may want to consider sleeping in your gear a night or two on your lawn to ensure you can sleep comfortably. You also need your meal plan to be figured out.

Practice

There is nothing worse than going on a hunt and guessing where your rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader, or bow is shooting. You need to take your weapon of choice to the range often. You need to practice shooting at all different ranges and under all different conditions. It does you absolutely no good to be a good shot with a dead rest if you do not get the perfect shot. So, practice a great deal. This way when you enter the field with your weapon of choice you are confident and competent with your weapon and you can be a good sportsman.
