I would add a second job so I can buy all that stuff.

[Chris_Wallace]

There is a lot on the list and definatly some that can be eliminated, but the average price is only a couple of bucks and may make the difference.

[bigbucks]

I only own a little over half that stuff & probably would only take half again of that on any one hunt. I understand if you're going on a week long hunt away from civilation, but if you're hunting close to home like I almost always am, I don't need that stuff. If there's anything at all significant wrong with my bow I'm heading to the bow shop before my next hunt.

I will acknowledge it's a pretty complete list & most likely everyone would throw up some different things.

[Mark Christianson]

My list is nothing close to that.

I agree, if you are headed out of town for a long hunt, then its a good list.

For those of us that hunt close to home/cabin, thats way overkill.

[Chris_Wallace]

No doubt I can agree with that big lake bass, just found it and figured I would post it to try and get some people to post their thoughts. You won't find me with a spare sight, or bow press, wool clothing, space blanket, topo map, gps, whistle, etc.

Bow in hand, knife on belt liscense in wallet.....stand already up im good to go!!!!!!!!!!!!

[treeclimber]

I do bring a lot of that stuff with me when I do my annual 2 week trip to ND. But to save room and the chance of not hunting I bring an extra fully equipped bow with on my extended trips. Saved me a few times. I found on my longer trips it is more important to have room for extra cloths instead of my bow press and other tools. I like to be dry and warm.

[Stratosman]

and a 16' trailer to haul it all!

[WB make the CUT]

A cell phone, kept on your person.

[lunker651]

Holycow, that is alot of stuff you got there. I think that is going overboard. Even when I'm going on a long trip, I don't even bring half the stuff. I usally bring all the main stuff like bow, knife, treestand, flashlight, licsences, backpack, 2-3 sets of clothings, ects. I guess everybody have their own needs, so I wouldn't say it's crazy.

[Mark Christianson]

Oh yea, dont forget the Gameboy Advanced with the Big Buck hunter game...

[bigbucks]

Was coffee on that list?

I've been know to take a book with for the early part of a hot weather evening hunt, when you don't expect a lot of movement. Especially if I'm hunting what I don't necessarily think is a grade A stand site. Sometimes I hunt spots that I don't think are great, on more of prospecting run. Occasionally they turn out to be much better than I thought they'd be.

When I travel outstate for a week or two,I usually carry all the above mentioned items,what are you going to do when you run into a problem when you are 3 hours down river with travel time to the nearest town.You have to be prepared.

[Captain B.R.K]

BB- I normally play it (gameboy) in the stand just as I see a deer do I set it down

List looks pretty big but ideal for a hunter that will be in the various season's. Use it as a "guide" to what you could take out on your next hunt. I think it is good to give a heads up on some of the stuff that we can typically overlook from time to time.
