Hey Everyone,

New to the forum, looking to get into hunting of all kinds if possible! For big game where you cant simply drag out the kill like a duck or turkey, do you carry a small field pack to be able to dress or mark the place where you killed the animal? Ive heard of some people having to come back for the meat, only to find that they have no idea where they left it.

I was thinking when I go on my first hunt I would bring some kind of orange flag (construction type) to mark the location of the animal in case I have to come back to it. Along with a field knife and some food snacks, what else should go in the small pack? Or is it even necessary to carry one?
