Anyone born after January 1, 1949 MUST have a hunter's safety card from your state to buy a hunting license. A past hunting license will not do. Try to get your lungs and legs in good shape prior to your hunt. Have your rifle sighted in before arriving in camp. Tipping is not mandatory, but it is customary and very appreciated.
