Those planning to go afield for the deer hunt need to go prepared. Which means:

• Hunters need to be familiar with the area they're going to hunt. If possible, scout the area before the hunt.

• Take a survival kit, which should include a first-aid kit, three ways to make a fire, quick-energy snack foods, a cord or rope, a compass, flashlight, extra knife and pad of paper and a pencil.

• Hunters need to make sure their vehicle is in good mechanical condition, and they should carry a shovel, ax, tire chains, jumper cables and a tow chain.

• And, before leaving, let someone know where you're going and when you expect to return, never hunt alone and wear proper safety clothing — 400 square inches of hunter orange on your back, chest and head.
