Behind the house-just my license & tags
EVERY other hunt
Binos
Flashlight
Gutting ‘kit’ (Includes gloves, knife, zip saw & drag)
Grunt call
Water
Small snack
Otherwise depending on hunt location & duration I could have a bunch of additional items. But the above always find a way into my pack.

1-License & tags
2-Binos
3-Food
4-Water/Juice
5-doe pee/estrus
6-Can call
7-rattle bag (new for this year)
8-Safety pin or zip tie for tag
9-Cover spray (earth)
10-TP
11-Berretta Knife
12-Cell Phone
13-Pen (for tag)
14-extra tips
15-tacks or reflective tap
16-head lamp
17-allen wrench set
18. A belt, might be worn pending on outfit
Thinking mace for this year. The belt isin case I severaly cut myself, need another strap for some extreme safety sake, and can also be used as a dragging rope (fat guys have it easier as they have longer belts). I'm sure I'll come up with more, but I think this serves the point of the thread.

RE: ok ..what goes in your back pack on every bow hunt?
Tags (always the first thing I ensure I have)
Pens
2 small backup knives (swiss army style)
Small knife sharpener
leatherman tool
extra rope
Hothands warmers
Grunt tube
Bleat can
cover scent
compass (never really need it where I go)
latex gloves (for field dressing)
small flashlight
rangefinder
extra batteries for both the light and my rangefinder
small medical kit
Small squeezable bottle filled with flour to check the wind.
extra ammo during gun season.
extra release during bow (have needed!!)
That's all I can recall now.
I carry everything else outside the pack. ie: my bino's are worn via strap, main knife is in a sheath, etc

RE: ok ..what goes in your back pack on every bow hunt?
Im real simple. Dont carry a back pack. Put my thermocell in my pocket, along with a kife and that is about it. When the rut gets to kicking off, I put a grunt and bleat in my pocket and a rattle bag.
