Man, ya' ll carry way too much.

I used to carry a pack full of stuff and the only days that I killed deer would be the days that I' d forget my pack or atleast half of that stuff.

YorkPaBowhunter has it down to the essentials and is right about it.

Now, I just carry

Bow with quiver full of arrows
Wear saftey harness
Water
Flashlight that clips to the bill of my hat
Gloves
Facemask
Limbsaw
and a .22 pistol in October and November for Rattlesnakes.

And if I am not in one of my Loc-On' s, then I pack in my API Bowhunter also.
