What do you always forget to bring elk hunting?

Recommended Posts

I have to ask,

What's "o Thingies"?[/size]

Items that any man will never need to worry about. I can't bring myself to write the real terminology on my list.

 

Some of you might laugh at my list.....but I bet most of you copied and pasted to a Word document for next season.

 

Everything, for the most part, that is on that list is in this photo for an 11 day hunting trip in a tent. Some things depend on how I am camping, tent, 5th wheel or cabin makes a big difference. But everything is on that list. If I don't need it, I don't take it. But I have it on the list for reference so I don't forget it when I do pack. I like to be comfortable when I am camping on a hunt. Better accommodations=better rest=harder hunting=better chance of turning luck and determination into a game animal to fill the freezer/hang on the wall.

Lance you forgot horseshoes on the list. Camp just ain't camp without a game or two of horseshoes.

The only way I would have time for a game of horseshoes is after I kill.

 

We usually have a big horseshoe tournament for Thanksgiving every year. We have two trophies and everything. They get brought back by the previous year's championship team, and goes home for the next year with the current winner. We try to keep teams together year after year. It has been a couple years since I had a trophy at my house. My aunt needs to practice more!

See there with all that gear you forgot something. I'll tell you what I won't ever forget ear plugs. This past hunting trip I slept in a tent with someone who snores really bad. My son suggested that I put ear plugs in before bed. Well the rest is history. I won't ever forget them. They also work great for nose plugs too.

Also lance you forgot carpet.....oh wait.

That's my father in laws list.

He likes (got me hooked on it too to be honest) carpet for a tent floor for our Alaknak tents.

Actually it's pretty plush...lol

Looks under the equipment section. Ear plugs are right above eye protection.

Make up and hairspray? LOL! Is that for the trail cam paparazzi?

 

Seriously though, my pillow...I always forget that!

My list for an elk hunt is short, and I can't remember when I've forgotten anything:

 

Camo clothing appropriate for weather, rifle, ammo, binoculars, knife, 6x8' tarp, meat saw, hatchet, chain hoist, rope, game bags, case of bottled water, cell phone, license, tag, reservation at closest motel, American Express card.
