You\u2019ve waited and prepared for weeks, if not months, for the season to start. The last thing you want is to be on the mountain without some of your essentials. You probably have the basics covered already, so today, we\u2019re going over a few more things you\u2019ll want to make sure you bring on your hunt.

Here are the remaining five things you may want to consider packing:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Medications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 Your first aid kit will have all of the basic medications you might need (pain relievers, antibiotic ointments, etc.). But, you won\u2019t want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere and needing some other medications you may not have thought to pack. Bulk up your on-the-go medicine cabinet and bring the following meds:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antacids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antidiarrheal medications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laxatives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antihistamine and Benadryl<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-anaphylaxis shot if you have life-threatening allergies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydrocortisone cream<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cough and cold medications<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Hand Mirror\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 A handheld mirror allows you to take a glance behind you without much movement and could come in handy (pun intended). Not only that, but a hand mirror can also be useful to check on your camo face paint.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Entertainment of Some Sort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 While the thought of being in your blind or tree stand and scouting out the best of the best sounds thrilling, it can get a bit slow here and there. Make sure to bring something that will entertain you during the downtime. This looks different for just about everyone \u2014 some will want a book (consider using a tablet of some kind to avoid making noise when you turn pages or a downloaded movie or podcast with headphones.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Trekking Poles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 It\u2019s no surprise for an avid hunter that you may run into some rough, uneven, or steep terrain as you make your way to your hunting site. Bringing along a pair of trekking poles will help you keep your balance and stability and will reduce your overall fatigue and chances of getting hurt.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bird Guide Book or App\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 When you\u2019re out in the woods, you\u2019re sure to see all sorts of wildlife, especially a wide variety of birds.
