On this Episode of Huntavore, September is here and the final push to season opener for whitetails is here upon us.  Nick walks through his archery equipment and how he checks the condition of very vital gear.  Later he breaks down the contents of a recovery bag and his own kill kit for making life easier and cleaner when bringing home the harvest.  Lots of good tasks to add to your to do list on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick starts out with a run through of his archery setup; saddle, sticks, platform, bow, & arrow.  Getting the stand pieces organized, and essential parts checked for damage or wear is a priority at the moment.  Only real change this year is switching to a framed pack.  He purchased the F1 Mainframe with two batwing pouches.  While it’s not been tested in the whitetail woods, the pack served Nick very well chasing elk.  Light and study, modular and expandable, Nick hopes for more stability than his frameless pack.

Kill bags can range from full kits in the deep wilderness, to a sealable freezer bag with a few essentials.  Preparing for success can make the recovery process a whole heck of a lot easier.
