• Bottled water 

• Ear protection

• Extra ammunition (depending on seasons and zones)

• Scent killer

• Extra food

• Extra layers if it is cold (maybe a blanket)

The Arkansas youth modern gun season was November 1st-2nd.

Firearms are very dangerous, so be careful; make sure you have completed a hunter's education course.
