I carry a small backpack with flashlight, grunt calls, gloves, knife, compass, hunting license, and what ever else I need to carry.

Gun(s), ammo, knife and thermos of coffee.
Yes, I've gotten wet but not worth carrying a rainsuit. I don't hunt where I haven't scouted, so no need for the compass, GPS, etc. My trips are usually 3 - 4 hours max.

From my personal experience, I have learned that if I don't bring the TP, I increase my chances of needing it by about 47%.

That statistic is pretty close to scientific.

I bring a roll of TP to use for marking a tracking job. But it gets used way more often as skid paper

I only take the very basics: (excluding my weapon)

Knife, rope, compass, flashlight, cell phone, license and pen, pair of latex gloves.

I take a flashlight, snuff, grunt call, and 'the can.' Anything else I can run to the truck and grab if needed.

License, knife, small flashlight, extra ammo, water bottle, lunch, a snack or 2, cover scent, call, wiindicator, about 20 ft of parachute cord and depending on the weather, I'll add either a sweatshirt, light jacket or raingear.

I'll normally have additional stuff in the truck in case I need it.

I try to keep it as simple and compact as I can.

I try to take as little with me into the woods as possible...the truck is never more than a mile away for me either. With me into the woods comes:

1. My weapon of choice
2. Extra projectiles to be sent from #1
3. A couple flashlights.
4. A couple knives.
5. A couple water bottles.
6. A thermos of coffee...just as often used for waking purposes, as for warming.
7. Cell Phone.
8. Compass.
9. Snacks and lunch if I plan on staying out that long.
10. TP.
11. A few calls (true talker, K & H EZ grunter, doe bleat can) and a rattle bag.
12. About 40' of rope.
13. My dragging mechanism (very closely related to #12, just shorter with a "fastener" on one end.)
14. My wallet, which holds my license, etc.
15. A lighter.
16. Binoculars.
17. Rangefinder.
18. Compact Bible.
Sounds like a ton, but all packs in a small pack and doesn't take up all that much space. Never thought I took that much until i looked at this list!
