H unting is a popular hobby and sport enjoyed by millions of people across North America. Over
the last 10 years, data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicates that more and more
females are taking up hunting.
Hunting seasons vary depending on where you live. Regulations designed by local conservation,
game, fish, and wildlife departments often dictate the start and end of hunting season. Although the
licensing, seasons, limits, and fees for hunting may differ geographically, the preparation that goes
into getting ready for hunting season is similar regardless of geography.
Many seasoned hunters realize hunting season does not begin on “opening day.” Rather, it can
take weeks or months to get ready for a successful season. Considering hunting seasons can be
brief, preparation helps hunters make the most of their time spent in the field.

tag or stamp. Many wildlife
departments require hunters
register in advance of the
season, and this registration
includes securing a hunting
license. Because there is a
limit to how many animals
each hunter can hunt, tags
for the animals they’re
hunting also will be issued.
Hunters planning on going
out for the season should
stay apprised of when
licensing and registration
begins and ends so they
can hunt legally.
• Scout areas. The
landscape can change from
year to year depending on a
host of factors, including construction, commercialization and weather. Areas once open to hunting
may now be restricted lands. Map out your potential hunting location and be aware of any new
landmarks or changes.
• Check and replenish gear. Inspect weaponry, field-dressing supplies, clothing, and other supplies
for wear and tear. Address any issues that need to be fixed, or replace items as necessary. If a rifle,
bow or shotgun hasn’t been fired in a while, take it to a range to verify accuracy and sighting. If you
hunt out of a tree stand or blind, make sure it is sturdy and in good condition prior to use.
• Get in shape. Hunting often requires hiking in and out of the
great outdoors in various terrain. It’s helpful to increase physical activity leading up to the hunt to
prepare your body for the physical demands of hunting.

• Organize and pack gear. Ensure your equipment is clean, in working order and packed away in
your travel bags. Establish a system of organization and a checklist so you’re certain you will have
what you need. Don’t forget to bring along your hunting license and animal tags; otherwise, you may
be levied with costly fines.
• Always hunt safely. It is quite easy to get swept up in the moment when tracking game. Don’t let
overzealousness cloud rational judgement and safety precautions. Otherwise an injury or even death
can occur.
Hunting season is on the horizon and that means preparing now for the few weeks of sport to come.
