az4life Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Dang Doug... I think you forgot a toilet and sink. I assume these are the main items as a reminder, and that you don't carry them all... Right? Personally, TP Binos, tripod, Snacks - Jerky, peanuts, trailmix granola bars pr similar for a day long trip Hard Candy - Jolly Rancher or.... Water, maybe a can of coke Knife Gloves Rope small LED flashlight Bandaids Tag , License Gun and ammo FRS if legal That is my basic pack depending on the game and weather.

Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Dang Doug... I think you forgot a toilet and sink. I assume these are the main items as a reminder, and that you don't carry them all... Right? I usually am hunting alone, so will be prepared to spend the night out or ready for some minor injury. I have had the barrel plugged with mud when the rifle slipped of the shoulder, hence the aluminum rod. The raingear is weather dependent. Have had a sharp seed in the eye, hence the mirror. the 2.5 readers are since I cannot see close well; wish i had that 20/15 vision of my youth again. Trash compactor bag is great for putting deer quarters in and keep your gear blood free. Usually do not have the small sharpening stone except on an elk hunt. The electrical tape is good for keeping raim, snow, twigs, etc out of the barrel. Wish I had it taped when it went muzzle first in to the mud on an elk hunt as I lost half a day going back to camp to get to the cleaning kit and recheck the zero. Latex gloves for skinning; good friend got a nasty infection from skinning/gutting a bear once with a small cut on his hand. Must be the Boy Scout in me still: Be Prepared. I do not want to be the hunter you read about who left camp with just a Snickers bar and a knife, and got lost. Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwoGuns Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Doug, I must say that is the most thourough list I have ever seen....almost obsessive compulsive.... I am sure I dont carry all of those things, but one other thing I always carry.....a large bottle of Sabre Red pepper spray. Simply because there are too many things out there, including people, I might want to keep away from me. darren Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted September 30, 2007 This from the Gear chapter of "How To Hunt Coues Deer." MISCELLANEOUS It’s no doubt possible to fill this entire page with a list of goodies that will make your hunt just a tab easier, more comfortable or perhaps even more successful. On the other hand, each one of us probably has such a list already. At least I do. Here’s why. Years ago, I kept a sheet of paper on my desk, and every time I thought of something to take on a hunt, I wrote it down. After several months, the paper was full. So I sat at the computer and broke it down into various groupings such as camping gear, clothing, etc. etc. I even had a section for the stuff I carry in my backpack. Then I printed out a dozen copies and use one every time I go on a hunt as a reminder. Below are some of the items that normally go into my backpack. Rubber gloves Lip balm Duct tape Extra knife Extra ammo Seat cushion Space blanket Compass or GPS Light rain jacket Knife sharpener Nylon Cord (20’) Flashlight w/extra batteries Wad of tar paper (fire starter) Orange, trail-marking ribbon Lens cleaning fluid and paper Matches AND butane lighter Topo map of my area Camera w/extra film Large, self-sealing plastic bags High-energy snack bars Small folding saw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
