What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

I was just wondering what the most valuable piece of equipment you take in the woods with you is (besides your bow of course). I'd like to say my drag rope but that doesn't come in handy too often. In all reality I'd have to say my scent lock suit. I got REAL tired of getting winded.

GPS just because if i got a buck or whatever. I dont want to become part of the food chain if i get lost:D

I'd have to say my treestand, because over the years I've become quite dependant on that style of hunting. I rarely hunt from the ground and just don't feel comfortable at all if I'm not up a tree.

Ditto what wimp said

I will say my ASAT suit. This is the best investment that I have made, well, that and my Summit stand. It is weird to be in ASAT. Normally, you see a deer and you think to yourself dang, its gonna see me". With the ASAT, you see a deer and it has absolutely no clue you are there, even if it is looking right at you from 10 yards away.

I gotta go with wimp. I rely heavly on treestands.

You mentioned not to include bows which I would extend to arrows and a release. Past that, I would say appropriate clothes. When comfortable you could stay out all day, regardless of any other item.

Range Finder, I can't judge distance to save my LIFE!!
Tree stand is a very close second.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

I'd have to say mytree stand also

deer tags, cuz i need one everytime i go hunting![&:]:D

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My lucky Dallas Cowboy's hat. I have killed virtually every deer that I have ever killed wearing that hat. I sure hope it never wears out!!!!

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My 'ID', a valid 'Outdoors Hunting Card' & my 'Valid Game Tag' for the WMU I'm hunting. Also 'my CELL PHONE'.
Wouldn't want to be stopped by a Conservation Officer without having these in my possession.

Hey Rack-Attack, how can you say that your brain is your most important equipment when you don't have one [>:][>:][>:]:D:D:D:D:D

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

A knife or three.;)

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

my survival kit........never no what might happen......

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My bow i need it to shoot deer.:D

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Horses to pack out the elk.

Thankfully I have only had to pack out one elk myself and hopefully that was the last one.:)

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

a knife you git lost

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My most important piece of equipment is probably my tree stand.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Well most of you guys forgot the most important thing while in a treestand.....................

I could not and would not live without my Safety Harness, next would be my bow, but I can buy a new bow, I cannot buy a new life!

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My water. Only thing I can't do without.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

arrow to go with the bow.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Treestand.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Treestand, range finder, then cell phone for safety.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Definately my Summit Cobra climber. I would be lost without!

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

I'm going to assume you meant the obvious things like treestand, harness, bow and arrows, etc.

Tops in the accessory list would have to be my True Talker grunt tube; it's accounted for more than a couple P&Y bucks on my wall.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Bubba stole my thunder thats is the one thing I never leave. I keep an extra gallon of water in all of my rigs and I even got this dandy camo back pack with a camel back in it this year for my B-day. Other then that my release cause I cant hit the broad side of a barn with fingers.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Oh yeah and my GPS somewhere up there in the top three or four things

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My most prized possesion that I couldn't imagine going without would be my bow holster!! That cheap little piece of equipment has saved my bow arm from falling off more times than I can remember!

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

My daypack, which contains a cell phone, pepsi, snacks, rangefinder, knife,
drag rope, extra release, matches, compass, etc., etc. Don't like to hunt
without it.

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

:D Hmmm i'd have to say GPS/compass as I do hunt many different areas....;)...Brampton Mike [8D]

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Tough question as I believe each piece of equipment that I carry does have some important purpose or I would not be carrying it.

I guess I could ditch the binoculars, gps, water bottle, rangefinder, etc.... but I think that I would absolutely need a flashlight or I would walk into too many things and have too many hunters in my area mistake me for a deer...;)

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

I could make do without anything, except a bow and an arrow. However, the one thing I'd really miss, is my 2-way radio. I generally hunt by myself and the security of being able to contact someone has eased my mind. Funny, 20 or 30 years ago, this would have never crossed my mind, but now that I have it, I want to keep it.

I should mention, it would be tough to be without a knife, especially if I shot something. :)

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

Yup treestand,be it climber,fixed,or ladder,the one thing that goes with these beside my saftyharness above all would be my hoist rope and or a spare ,
afterall it would be impossible if not a very smart move too climb with one hand[:o]

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

I couldn't do without my tru-talker deer call, I called deer in from up to 200+ yards and buck with that thing. Then of course i might need the license with me;)

RE: What one piece of equipment couldn't you go without ?
 

So many important things, I'm not sure what I'd want to be left without. I'd probably miss my binoculars the most if I didn't have them. I like to watch squirls and turkey when there are no deer around.
