PLANNING AN EXTENDED HUNTING TRIP IN AUTUMN Fall weather can be exceptionally mild or freezing. If the weather is warm, don’t forget to pack a few items of heavy clothing in case of a cold snap or chilly temperatures at night. A warm sweater and a heavy pair of pants and jacket will provide extra cold-weather protection. You should also make sure you have plenty of blaze orange colored clothing and caps. Try not to pack more clothing and gear than necessary, especially if you must hike long distances. Traveling light will conserve your strength, and you’ll have more endurance. If you find yourself too weighed down with gear and supplies, exhaustion can prevent you from having a successful hunt, or worse, you could have an accident.

Don’t forget to pack blaze orange items so other hunters can spot you.
