   always buy good quality gear, doesnt have to be a name brand. good boots are a must! even 2nd hand ones (ask sarvo) and best of all is a hunting mate you can trust

   This for me as a beginner was huge, because when I started I didn't have deer hunting mates to pass that sort of wisdom along. I knew they used their noses, but had no concept of quite how much the...

    My only concern with clothing would be to avoid all the thin super lightweight macpac type trendy gear as it won't last 5mins in a bush hunting scenario , boots included. Others may possibly disagree...

    You need to be able to navigate off track through the bush using a map and compass. It's just as important as having a rifle and knife. Oh and you need a head torch.

    I am using mostly all the gear I have been using for tramping for years and will upgrade the things I need to when I can afford it, the only extra things I have bought are rifle, ammo and a knife.
