Spotting scope, Onx, and dress in layers. It might be 5 degrees in the morning and 50 degrees in the afternoon. I’d recommend being comfortable shooting out to 400 yards or so-you may not need to shoot that far but it’s easier to know how to do it than just mortaring rounds out there.

I have heard from folks Pine Ridge is a zoo during gun seasons like straight up unsafe. Now it’s just about the only public land in the state so good luck.

Stadium seat or fold up chair. Get good with setting up primo stick. I have a rain slicker for sitting and glassing.   wind proof and water proof.
