HUNTING EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST
(CANADA)
Depending upon the area hunted, Canada offers extremes in climatic conditions - for example, the prairie fall can be +40F with a mild breeze and sunny one day and -10F with a strong blizzard the next - let's not forget that it can also rain anytime during the Canadian fall and winter seasons. To ensure comfort and a quality experience, it is essential that the hunter be prepared for these extremes.
The following is an equipment checklist prepared by THE CANADIAN OUTDOOR CONNECTION based on its past experiences to assist you in planning for your hunt.
