I always carry a backpack with extra ammo, snacks, flashlight, saftey blanket, flares, rope, t/p, etc. etc. Of course I' m a rookie (thus the safety blanket and flares) but a funny thing happened last year. We shot two deer close to dark....so the questions start.....who' s got rope.......I do.....Who' s got a flashlight......I do.....Damn! Who' s the rookie around here?
