Now that we're less than a week away from dressing up like pumpkins, does anyone have a trusty gear list for the opener? I usually fly by the seat o my pants at about 10pm Friday night

I think your in the ranks with a lot of guys and gals when it comes to opening day.

For me, most of all my needed gear is in my backpack year after year, and I replace it right away if it gets used.

This is my essential list for hitting the woods.

Compass along with any topo/aerial maps for the area I am hunting.

A knife and a harness type drag system

A headlamp and a small stinger flashlight

Matches and Lighter

A few extra shells

Toilet paper

Some snacks for the stand or breaks in my still hunting

Any calls or scents I might be using

A small lock bladed hand saw

Reflective pin type trail markers (a good thing to have, for marking a trail back to a deer if you have to leave to get help)

And a water bottle

Basically, this is all I need. Could be a lot more then some would carry, but through the years this is the gear I know I need. Another thing, put the matches, TP, maps, and other things you do not want to get wet into ziplock bags. I then just arrange these bags into my pack in reference to how I will need the items.

For clothes, usually I wear enough layers, where I can shed clothes if I need too and then stuff them into my pack. Especially if I am still hunting, and would work for people on drives.

One other thing, don't forget your license and back tag!! grin.gif

Good luck out there this year and be safe!!

Cell Phone for those emergencies like "someone is shooting at me!" Im not joking here either. Or "Im Lost". Maybe it wont work but maybe it will. Good thing to check out and know. Ofcourse you cant use them to aid in your hunt. wink.gif

By the way don't forget the drag rope or the string to tie the tag to the deer's ear.I seem to lose boot strings every year because I forget "the string"

I like to have a watch to, nice to know when legal hours are. Also some disposable hand warmers, if chilled they can really help. Also a good pair of binoculars, do not want to be using the scope for glassing the woods.

Jar, does the wife know your talking like that grin.gif. Here I thought I was the only one who used his boot strings for tags. Went duck hunting for the last time this season this morning. Had to bust some ice but we made it. I can't wait till duck opener cool.gif

You and your kids have a safe and good deer hunt.

I'm bummed, I was hoping to get out one more time at some ducks but it does'nt look good now frown.gif. But now I'm pumped up for deer season after going to the deer expo at the church in Poplar last night, Lots of nice mounts in there including the buck Larry Kline shot by Solon Springs last year, he had a full body mount of that deer there.

Good luck out there everyone and most of all BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!
