What do you carry hunting ?
What do you carry in to the woods with you when you're bowhunting?
Besides your bow,arrows, and release I don't carry much. I carry my knife, my cell phone, a flashlight, water, TP, Wet paper towels in a baggie, grunt call, and I'll bring a sandwich depending on how long I'm going out for, but that's pretty much it. How about you? Is there something I should be taking that Im not or what? |
Keep in mind that I hunt on private property and on properties/ local farms that I'm familiar with. So I don't see a need to bring compasses and other survival supplies.
|
I bring a book and either sunflour seeds or recies peices to munch on seeing as most of your scent comes from your mouth especially if your a smoker I feel its very important to mask your breath,
|
I carry way to much. When I pick up my backpack, I ask myself, Why?

Thermocell
Flashlight Safety harness Lighter Rangefinder Binos One screw in step Smaller stuff too but to me they're insignificant Stuff like: Hoist rope Small hooks Cell phone Wallet Liscense Just stuff that's a given and not really optional |
i usually dont bring much. grunt call, cell phone, knife, maybe a drink and snack, however, was out yesterday with two buddies. we were spread out in about a 400 yard radius, none of us had any luck, however, when dark came, me and one of my buddies had to wait 30 minutes so that our other friend could leave his stand because he had two coyotes howlin up at him from below. too awkward angle to shoot with a bow so there was nothing he could do but wait. because of this i might start carrying some sort of pistol
|
one thing only......
other than my bow, arrows, release. My bow holster, connected to my pistola belt. When I shoot one, I use the time to wait by going back to get my field dressing equipment and anything I need to get the animal back. Don't use a flashlight to and from my stands. Don't move while I'm in my stands.:s13:
|

Snack, usually a sandwich or 2. Drinking water 2 different calls Rattle bag Doe pee Rope to drag a deer T-paper. Wife would kill me if I used my good hunting sock to wipe my tush, lol...
