Here are two threads that have some good info that may help you. The second thread has a very good list that you can start with and then customize to your needs.

What time of year and where? When you say head to toe, do you mean just clothing, or more a "What's in your pack" type thread?

Everything.  Sumner trip let's say August

Just about everything you take in fall (especially late August).  You could ditch quite a bit of "hunting" stuff and throw in better food, that would be nice.  Or maybe throw in a small fishing rod.

August is bear season so you are going to need a rifle. Good boots and a good pack are  a must. A comfortable sleep system is also important. Here is a list of what I am taking  this year.

Pack- Kifaru Nomad on a Bikini frame
Shelter- (solo)Zpacks Hexamid Solo Plus
             (With a partner) Golite SL3
Sleep system-Enlightened Equipment Revelationx quilt, Big Agnes Insulated Air Core pad, MSR E-bivy
Cooking- GSI Soloist cook set, Brunton Raptor stove
Spotter- Vortex Razor HD, tripod to be determined
Water filter- Sawyer Squeeze Filter, Platypus 3 liter bladder
Rain gear- Kuiu Chugach
Clothing- Sitka Core base layers (1 set), Kuiu short sleeve merino t-shirt, Kuiu Superdown zip tee, Sitka 90% jacket or Kuiu Guide jacket, lightweight synthetic pants, 2 pair synthetic underwear, 2 pair Costco merino socks, beanie, gloves
Boots- Kenetrek or lightweight Danners
Kill kit- Havalon knife, TAG game bags, Kifaru meat bag, 3 trash compactor bags
Toiletries- T.P., unscented wet wipes, tooth brush, tooth paste, extra pair of contacts, small lightweight microfiber towel
Misc.- 2 small Bic lighters, fire starter, Leatherman, 2 headlamps, extra batteries, camera, GPS, compass, map
Rifle, ammo, binos, trekking poles, food

That's off the top of my head. If I think of anything else, I will add it.

Thanks Ken. Looks like you added and changed some gear

Yeah, you're welcome to check it out if you would like. We need to set up a weekend scouting trip or bear hunt.

Why the bicycle if you have a shelter? Seems like extra weight and space it's taking up to me. To alter your list some, I'd probably leave rain pants at home in August, chances are you won't need them if you check the weather.
