[rybohunter]

Behind the house-just my license & tags

EVERY other hunt
Binos
Flashlight
Gutting "˜kit"™ (Includes gloves, knife, zip saw & drag)
Grunt call
Water
Small snack

Otherwise depending on hunt location & duration I could have a bunch of additional items. But the above always find a way into my pack.

[DoePeeSteve]

1-License & tags
2-Binos
3-Food
4-Water/Juice
5-doe pee/estrus
6-Can call
7-rattle bag (new for this year)
8-Safety pin or zip tie for tag
9-Cover spray (earth)
10-TP
11-Berretta Knife
12-Cell Phone
13-Pen (for tag)
14-extra tips
15-tacks or reflective tap
16-head lamp
17-allen wrench set
18. A belt, might be worn pending on outfit

Thinking mace for this year. The belt isin case I severaly cut myself, need another strap for some extreme safety sake, and can also be used as a dragging rope (fat guys have it easier as they have longer belts). I'm sure I'll come up with more, but I think this serves the point of the thread.

Im real simple. Dont carry a back pack. Put my thermocell in my pocket, along with a kife and that is about it. When the rut gets to kicking off, I put a grunt and bleat in my pocket and a rattle bag.

I carry a picture of Rob's wife with me at all times.
