I was going to make a comment about ...how big of a back pack you will need...and then I thought for a second.....I do keep most of that in my truck that I can get to after the kill...
You nailed it....its all there!

Yeah, MW it actually all fits into my Predator Camo Backpack. I even have a little room to spare. My truck is parked a good 3/4 to a mile from my stands so I really don't want to go all the way out and back in if you know what I mean. This pack I have is super nice. Lots of pockets and no zippers. All elastic or flap/lock closures. Saddlecloth and super quiet.

OKbowhunter, I know it seems like a lot. It may be to some. I have gotten caught in the past in certain situations though that were out of the norm. Some of the stuff is just personal preference, but most of it could mean the difference in a good day or crying in your Fruit Loops.[:-]
