If you hunt on the west side, an extra set of tires and a six pack of beer!

I know you said these items already, but just to emphasize.  These items are easy to leave behind, and many a hunter has.  They have also found themselves constantly and mercilessly razzed by the rest of the camp.

1.  Ammo
2.  AMMO
3.  Don't forget the AMMO!!!

I am going laugh my butt off when you forget ammo next week haha


What I pack changes depending on where I hunt, but there are some basic items that go on every hunt... mostly mentioned above. I might recommend electrical tape added to your pack. Great to attach your tag to an antler and also works to make sure makeshift splints stay in place on broken bones... and you can even fix broken pack straps or strap extra meat to your pack.... all from experience

Bring your a camera and capture your experience and share with all of us!

Good luck!

Organizing multiple times prior to the trip helps me not forget stuff.

Good excuse to hang out in the garage listen to Gritty Bowmen and drink some 16 year Glenlivet.

In lieu of rope in pack I go for a thicker gauge parachute cord.  I also always pack a thermal foil blanket. Oh, I also pack thin parachute to tie anus off once cut loose.  Keeps the bad stuff in while pulling through pelvis.

Maybe I'm missing something. Make sure u have a bladder. A 3 liter

[jmscon]

Game bags, hatchet or saw, clean sheet for putting meat on, tp (in a ziplock), extra knife, sharpening stone, rubber gloves, marking tape, orange vest (in case it warms up and you need to get down to a tee shirt), water bladder, compass, snack bars, lighter or matches (in a zip lock), warm gloves, warm hat, purifying tablets or steripen, gps, head lamp, extra batteries for both.

I keep my tag and license on me in case I have to drop my pack and cant find it again.

Don't forget your rifle, it's a long drive home.

Good luck!

Unless I missed it, you may want something to get your deer out depending on where your party is hunting. Rope / sled/ etc.

I always bring a couple Ziploc freezer bags for the liver and heart.
