6.scent/scent killer7.sometimes a camera
Did I forget anything?

Bow, few calls, wind checker, skinning knife and a couple different cover scents....Oh yeah, I always keep a finger tab in my bag just in case something happens to my release!!!!

I am starting to take an extra release in my packwith me in the woods this year. Can't go wrong with redundancy. Especially if you leave your primary release in the truck a half a mile away.

RE: What gear do you take?
It varies, depending on the time of year and how long I plan to be on stand. Generally, though.....
Thermacell
Binos
Grunt tube
Flagging tape
Knife
Water
Snacks
Cell Phone (let's face it, you just NEVER know. After doing CPR on my best friend while fishing..I never leave home w/out it.)
2 way radio (if hunting w/ others)
That's really about it. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I travel light.
