Finding deer isn’t the hard part. It’s getting into bow range on a buck that’s surrounded by does he’s chasing. 10 sets of eyes and noses make it very difficult.

As for gear, "take whatcha got and go". If you need something on the fly, use Wal-Mart so you don't break the bank. Consider it a small rental fee until you dial in the gear you like/want.
Most of all, go. You will have fun and learn. Have zero expectations with the exception of: learn something.

It took me and a buddy driving 4 days in Arizona to find the unit we liked. Lot of hiking and glassing all day then at night we would drive to the other area. We finally found a spot and saw tons of deer and a few really nice ones. We hunted it 3 out of 4 years. There seems to be lots of road hunters in January. We didn't have a bunch of stuff for camping the first year. We liked to froze our butts off. We gathered gear and knowledge every year.

My Hope's are high more so for my first western hunt and the excitement of seeing what I'm up against. I dont have expectations to take a giant and at the end of the day horn size is not what I'm after.
The questions I have are really more toward what I would need and the little things I may need that I wouldnt think of.
And honestly I'd be more than happy to do a complete right up and I'd be willing to drop pins of where I camped or saw deer. I want others to experience success and I am an open book about hunting.

You will have fun with that attitude for sure. It really is a great opportunity to get out in the field and hunt. Good glass from up high and let the optics do the work is my advice. Make camp as comfy as you can because the days aren’t very long that time of year

If you call Camera Land, tell them you are a Rokslide member and you can get 10% off. If you buy head and tripod together, it'll be over $150 and you will also get free shipping.
