New to hunting.

rifle, or bow, or muzzleloader or whatever you want to hunt with.
scope
mudboots
regular boots
tree stand (optional but good to have)
thermocell
book bag
camo
stamina to walk about 5 miles a day at least if your walking. wmas are weight losers.
license, with wma stamp.. just get the sports man license 99 bucks it has everything hunting fishing ect.

I for one, am not a walker. I walk a long distance to get to the spot I hunt, but then I get my butt 30' up a tree and stay there. I think you bump too much game around walking
If walking doesnt sound good to you and tree stands arent your cup of tea, check out one of the chair blinds. They literally pop up in seconds and have a scent resistant material

The biggest key to being successful in the hunting game is scent control

I was woundering about ground blind. I here eveyone talking about tree stands here in FL.. When I was in TN. it was a 50/ 50 mix of the people I knew would use one or thw other.

public land.. no groung blind. i would not do that unless my back was up against a fence line.
