Deer hunting opener is this weekend and if you're heading out to the deer stand, you've got to be prepared with the essentials. I'm not talking about the obvious -- your rifles, knives and blaze orange. I'm thinking of some of the things you're likely to forget in all the excitement and you'll be in a pickle without them.

I know you've got your guns, calls and scents all packed and ready to go but here's a few other things you're going to need while you're out deer hunting this weekend.

I don't deer hunt but my best friend has gone with her husband before and she says you do a lot of sleeping in the deer stand, so you might as well be comfy!

You can only nap for so long in the deer stand and besides, you need to keep your strength up. When you get your "Turdy Point Buck" you're going to have a lot of work to do!

 


 

'Da Turdy Point Buck'

 

 

Speaking of nabbing your 'Turdy Point Buck,' you need a copy of the song to get you in your deer hunting groove! I mean, the song tells us what deer hunting is all about for sure!

Let's face it nature is going to call when you're up in the stand. You don't want to be caught with your pants down (yes, pun intended.) Who wants to have to use dry fall leaves to take care of that business??

 


 

'Escanaba in Da Moonlight'

 

 

This is the most ridiculously weird deer hunting movie I have ever seen but it's a hilarious must see! Watch it before you go or bring it with to watch in the deer shack. You'll roll over laughing!

 


 

Okay, what am I missing? What are your must haves for deer hunting?
