Newbie hunting wy. 16 blm for pronghorn and have some dumb questions.
A. Parking along the road, how smart is it to leave my rifle hard case ($200) and cooler ($300)locked up in the vehicle if I plan on camping for up to 5 or six days and my extra clothes if it turns off really cold. Should I buy a cheap cooler to keep ice in vehicle, while Iam camping. Get a small storage unit, to store the exspensive stuff.
B. So I set my base camp up and plan on doing some hiking during the day, Is it ok to just leave the tents up and my sleeping/cooking gear/cooler and food in the tents. On blm land.
C. Also appreciate any other tips or ideas that any of you experienced hunters have that a newbie might overlook.
D. Water also concerns me plan on carrying enough out for a couple days. Going to hydrate heavily on the trip out there. Don't think I can carry 5 days worth of water. Some hunters have told me to only get water from running streams. There are some reservoirs where Iam hunting is it a complete Nono to get water from them and use a sawyer squeeze only. Should I boil?, iodine.
Thanks for any tips ahead of time.
