FishingWebGuy Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Dont forget the toliet paper! Usually forget it once a season and of coarse that is exactly when i need it. Nothing like leaving a sock in the woods. Maybe that is why i have a bunch of unmatched pairs? Also good for marking locations of blood trail.

FishingWebGuy Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 My list has changed a little now that I have a year under my belt.Bow + quiver/arrows + releaseFolding sawTagToilet paperRopeWind direction thingyKnifeWaterCompassWhistleBinocsGPSHeadlampPhoneSometimes I'll bring a camera -- that'll happen a lot more this year since we are lottery and I want to hold out with my one tag. I always figure I might as well get pictures of any that I pass on.If it's an all day sit, I'll bring some sandwiches.I ditched my big backpack right away last year and got a little fanny pack. Everything for cleaning/dragging the deer stays back at camp. My fanny pack straps nicely around the tree above my head for easy access to any items.I read last year that there was no harm in wizzing out of the tree. Some people actually said it would attract deer. So I never did bring a pee jug with last year. It would probably be a gallon jug for an all day sit anyhow. Now I'm second guessing that decision just as I type this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerminator Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 For early and late season hunts that are short, I pretty much just bring by bow, arrows, license, tag/string and cell phone. But then I hunt in my backyard most of the time. For all day hunts in late October and early November, I bring the kitchen sink. But then I usually sit in a blind on those. My theory is the more comfortable and occupied you are, the longer you will be willing to sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom-bouncer Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 for a short sit 3-5 hours I bring bow, arrows,release,extra release,grunt tube, primos doe can, antlers, binos, tag. for a dark to dark sit I bring all items above plus two granola bars a bottle of water and t.p. everything else can stay in the truck thats were I am headed after I shoot anyway to wait awhile before tracking. vister I am with you I am way to intune with whats going on around me to have any distractions like a book. I have had way to many deer come in fast with very little time to get the bow back let alone put away a book or other distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlander Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 My list includes: compass limb saw limb clippers decoy string for tieing tags and butt hole! butt out gutting glove kits (2) drag rag in a zip lock scents extra bright LED flashlight for tracking camera cell phone Swiss army knife super sharp gutting knife/gut hook pocket knife small package of wet wipes (unscented) after gutting deer toe and hand warmers camo face makeup thermocell and extra pads calls extra fleece cap for when it gets cold during sunset back pack for heavy coats put inside and wear later when cooled down Last year I bought a deer cart to pull deer out and carry in tree stands and equipment when setting them up in July and August! I don't bring all these items every time I bowhunt, just depends on the weather, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKJACK Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I normally keep my hunts under 3 hours so my gear is pretty basic - but it still ends up being a lot of stuff. I wear the old army surplus pants and shirts with lots of pockets that I stuff all my gear into. My safety harness is one the 'seat of the pants' harnesses that looks like a fanny pack that I wear to the stand, take off, put on my extra clothes, then put safety harness on. My list:binocsmosquito face maskcamo gloves with fingers cut offreleaseheadlampsmall spare flashlightlicense bung hole stringknifesmall bow hanger hooksmall fanny pack with bow hanger and rattling bagbow pull up ropegrunt callLater in the season my camo coveralls will have extra gloves, stocking cap, and chemical handwarmers, I buy them by the box!!In the truck I'll have trail marking tape, another flashlight, and spare batteries in case I have to track a deer at night.

luckey Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Being I hunt out of ladder or platform stands, they already have hooks to hang stuff so I usually hang my open bag and slowly get stuff out. By the end of the hunt I have a couple grunt tubes, range finder, binos, rattle stuff, gloves, and who knows what else hanging around the tree. The one thing I've never had was a book or magazine. There's just too much going on that I would miss if I was reading. Most of my stands are placed in really tight quarters so by the time you see the deer it's already in range.

eyehunter86 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I hunt frome dark to dark. Never leave my stand and I agree a book hinders walching the woods I could never read or play games. Back to the subject I pack a lot.ThermousBinocsBow/gunRopeSmall blind and tri pod seat( incace I move for evening hunt)Nife, E blanket,head lamp,grunt,sents,lunch,sent killer, tp,pee bottle, gps,cell phone,rain gearThair is a lot but if I don't bring it ill end up wanting it its all about staying out in the feildWile every one else moves in for lunch and drives deer. I could never get enuff of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
