ATTENTION : Mentors - what to bring
Mentors:
What you need to bring:
1)The proper licensing for the youth hunter
2) Bedrolls/pillows. We are a but cramped for space so if you have a camper or tent please do bring it. .
3) Safety harnesses and tie offs for both the youth hunter and mentor - We have some available there.
4) Rain gear (was necessary last year)
5) Hunting tool/ammo
6) Hunting Clothing (we will furnish the hunter orange items)
7) Flashlight(s)
8) Personal items (toiletries, towels, wash clothes, soap, medicines, etc)
9) Whatever snacks you like for taking to the stand/blind.
10) Lawn chairs for the campfire session.
11) Cooler to take home the deer meat.
12) Gutting/skinning knife
13) Pull up ropes
14) Bug spray
15) Whatever else you want to bring
We should have two ATVs there to haul deer out so you will not have to bring yours.

What is the best thing for mosquitos? last year the Off spray I used didnt help much at all. I read about the therma cell but those things seem to be pretty expensive by the time you buy the unit and butane and the repellent mats for it. Mosquitos aren't quite a problem where I normally hunt but they were bad last year in Vincennes.

IMO, it's more important to be able to sit still, instead of swatting skeeters. I'd opt for a thermo cell or a good Deet repellant and hunt downwind. Plus, the deet will help out with the seed ticks.

ThermoCell is the only way to go.

Bring em with you. Someone may end-up buying them at the hunt. Heck as far as that goes we otta have everyone bring hunting stuff that they want to trade &/or sell at camp.

Yea that sounds like a good idea. I just didn't want to have to pay the shipping back to them and they are such nice bags.

Woody & Folks:
If you do need tents, please let me know. I have a cabelas dome which will sleep 2-3 comfortably and another 17' x 13' tent you are welcome to use. I live close enough it is no problem to get them to you and set them up.

I live close enough it is no problem to get them to you and set them up. Paul, That is a very generous offer. We probably need to do a "bed count" and see where we are in sleeping arrangements. I'll get back with you on that, Thanks, WW
