There's probably something else in there that I am forgetting.

YEA everything that everybody else said Plus one more thing

a set of real rattling horns (3 year old buck)

That would require a pack!

I wear binos.....carry a bow hook and my bow.

That's it.

Knife
Grunt Call
Rangefinder
Flashlight

That's it. No pack, keep it light. Of course seeing as all my stands are about a 2 minute drive to my house, I can resupply on tracking materials if need be.

Here is my list

Flashlights

Extra Gloves
TP
Rope
Knife
Paper and pen (for writing my temp tag)
Rattle Bag and Bleat Can
Bow hanger

You guys got it covered...don't forget cell phone for texting and internet surfing. Lol!

Guilty! Also my iPod and a tin of Grizz Win. I'm bad...
