Here is what I carry:

1. bow
2. release
3. grunt
4. topo map
5. compass/thermometer
6. medium knife
7. small knife
8. folding handsaw
9. cord & string
10. deer drag
11. tissue
12. rubber gloves/plastic bag
13. license/bandaids in waterproof holder
14. ballpoint pen
15. windproof lighter
16. gps/radio (rino 120)
17. cell phone
18. binoculars
19. two flashlights (red and white beams)
20. extra batteries
21. snack bars/juice boxes
22. orange hat/vest for dragging deer out
(overlapping firearms/muzzleloader seasons)

sometimes - heat packs, handgun & earplugs, scent, rangefinder
rarely - tree stand, fanny pack
almost never - backpack

I pack all my stuff in my pockets

I usually still hunt alone and out for the day, so I need to be completely self-sufficient. The cell phone is for when the deer is too big for me to drag by myself, which is most any sized deer
