I will be coming out for my first time November 11th. I am sure the hunting is something that needs to figured out with experience and multiple trips. I was wondering more about what I need for my dog. I Have a 4 year old setter and my buddy has a lab. My dog always wears a skid plate for fences and sharp sticks. Will he need boots at all? just wondered if the terrain is hard on their feet. We will be starting out near Woonsocket, are there any ticks to worry about? I use a Seresto collar so I have that covered. Just wondered if I need to check myself often. My other concern is what are the best maps to have in the truck? Is the fish and game atlas the best or a back roads S. Dakota map book, or some thing else. If there is something you are never without please add it to the list. It never hurts to over prepare. Thanks
