It seems every year I collect more and more stuff.The more I collect the more I bring.Just wondering what others are bringing to the bow stand. I would really like to limit what I have to carry, but I know if I buy it and leave it at home the wife will wonder why I bought it. She doesnt understand. So besides the bow and arrows what are you needs in a stand.

Besides the obvious bow, arrows and camo, i dont bring all that much stuff. Depending on where im hunting, i will bring all my calls and rattling antlers, binoculars, wind indicator, scentsand a camera. Im sure i bring more stuff than that, but nothing else jumps into my head at the moment.

If I am only hunting the first 3 hours of a morning or late afternoon into the evening, I simply bring my flashlight, stand, bow, cell phone, safety harness and a relaxed mind. If I am planning to hunt an entire day, say during the rutt, then I bring all the above but also a backpack with food, snacks, water bottle, etc.

Luckily, one or two of my productive hutning areas is only about a 5 minute walk to where I park my truck so when I stick a deer I pack everything up and head to the truck and put my gear away...then head back into the woods with my gloves, knife and rope.

I have a little camo pouch that I'll put some water andmaybe some jerkey or something like in, alsoa Can call, and a grunt call, plus my yardage pro and some kind of scent, cover or attractant, depending on the time of year. That's about it. I don't want to have to carry a bunch of stuff, if it doesn't fit in my little handy-dandy pouch I most likely won't bring it.

This is the right answer. Every year, I look at what I take to the stand with an eye to eliminating some items. Usually if I can't carry it in a pocket, I won't carry it. The exception is water, snacks, camo mesh for my climber, and my range finder. I carry that in a small backpack which is good for putting clothes into as the day warms up and I strip clothing off. I am usually prepared to hunt from sun up to sun down.

I got a bowhunters vest that primos make and i thinks its awesome. It allows you to bring more gear and it doesnt get in your way like some big heavy pack mite.
