You are going on a week long excursion into Montana or the Dakotas for pheasant.. Curious what are the top ten essentials in your hunt bag.
(besides your gun, shells and dog)

On a serious note, pliers (porcupines) bolt cutters or long rope for connibers. Water, first aid kit for the dogs. That's about all I carry with me out here.

I am not going to address stuff for you, the hunter...only for Fido:
*Dog first aid kit - get one if you don't have one, plenty are sold as a kit, ready to go
*Contact Info for nearest vet to where you are hunting - take the time to find one or two before you go
*Be sure dog has collar with your contact phone # on it
*Food: not only Fido's normal kibble, but energy snacks for the field if you will be away from your truck on all day hunts
*Charger for your training collar, both receiver and transmitter!
*Scissors/clippers if you have a long haired dog, never know when they will run into the nasties
*Towels: I always carry an extra towel or two for the dog in case he gets into the mud or takes a dip right before we get back into the truck. It doubles as a pillow/blanket too
These are off the top of my head. We don't hunt too far from home (always in WA), but we go on plenty of road trips and the above are a few things we always have.

In addition to the aforementioned items, I also pack a roll of duct tape and Pam. These stay in the rig. Tape's been used on dog's pads in a pinch during chukar hunts (in case his pads haven't toughened up enough yet)Gear Heads:

The Pam (no flavored) gets sprayed on his lower body/long haired parts when we're likely to run through burrs that could stick to him. Before Pam, he'd get heavy accumulations of burrs stuck in his pits, causing lots of problems. I spent many hours cutting, pulling and brushing those things out. Now they hardly stick at all and when they do, they pull off painlessly.
