If you can afford it get an ultra light weight sleeping bag.

Remember that you will wear one pair of boots going in so don't include that in your weight.

Cut your socks and underwear down to four pair each. These you can rince and hang to dry inside the tent while you are out hunting.

Cut your jeans down to three pair.

Cut your T-shirts down to four.

Cut your flannel shirts down to two.

Your Carhart jacket is heavy so bring a lighter, actual weight, jacket.

Cut you gloves down to one pair of mittens with the cut out for your fingers. These are much warmer than gloves and will allow you to expose your fingers if it gets too hot.

Make sure your binos are compact and light weight.

Cut your rain gear down to a good poncho.

Cut your ammo down to one box.

Drop the two flashlights and the strobe light. Instead but two LED headlamps. These are about 1,000 times lighter, much smaller, most have a built in strobe, leave you hands free, and you don't need to pack all of the heavy batteries. The batteries will last about 50 times longer as well.


Also if you go a little over weight you can strap on your day pack and put some stuff in it.
