Whether hunting alone, or with others, it is a good idea to leave a hunting trip plan. A hunting trip plan left with a family member or friend can provide valuable information to emergency personnel in case a hunter does not arrive during the time specified. A simple hunting trip plan would provide the following:
- Hunters name
- Name of companions (if any)
- Date and time of departure
- Departure and return route
- Destination (if remote area leave detailed map)
- Plan B alternative destination
- Expected date and or time of return
- Vehicle make/model/color/license plate #
- Cell phone #
- Emergency contacts
