Man, ya' ll carry way too much.

I used to carry a pack full of stuff and the only days that I killed deer would be the days that I' d forget my pack or atleast half of that stuff.

YorkPaBowhunter has it down to the essentials and is right about it.

Now, I just carry

Bow with quiver full of arrows
Wear saftey harness
Water
Flashlight that clips to the bill of my hat
Gloves
Facemask
Limbsaw
and a .22 pistol in October and November for Rattlesnakes.

And if I am not in one of my Loc-On' s, then I pack in my API Bowhunter also.

in my hip pack
knife
mini maglight
ribbon/marking tape
extra pair of gloves
field dressing gloves
Justin Case paper (TP)
grunt tube
mini binoculars

On my person
Bow with quiver attached
Safety harness

occaisonailly a few snacks. I figure the limbsaw only goes out with me if I move my stand and maybe the first or second time out if I have moved it. How some of you people can move with that stuff in your pockets let alone silently is beyond me. I take my fanny pack and tie it around the tree once I am in my stand. I then just sit watching and listening for my quarry

I just pack the necessities that I need for an afternoon/early evening hunt:

PSE bow with quiver of 2315' s w/ 125gr Thunderheads.
My new Tru-fire Magnum wrist-strap release
Ameristep Grizzly climber
Chest safety harness
Haul rope

Advantage Timber camo, depending on temperature
Cold: wear insulated jumpsuit with longjohns.
Warm: wear nylon pullover (shirt/pants set) and wear over regular clothing

Fanny pack, stuffed to capacity:
Facemask and gloves
My dad' s old 1973 pocket knife (I carry this everywhere I go no matter what).
Cardeer necklace
HS Strut 5-in-1 deer call
HS Scents " BuckRut" scent wafers
Tinks #69 bottle and scent bombs
Scent shield 2-in-1 " earth" scent smells like wet leaves/damp woodpile
Cell phone (turned off - obviously), car keys, wallet, etc...
Thin black string to hang scent bombs and drag scent wafers behind me.
Small binoculars
A can of Diet Coke
PBJ sandwich
Apple or Pear to munch on

Man, that' s a lot of stuff to cram into a fanny pack! I might need a bigger pack!

This thread is like the " Can you top this?" contest in the least carried and the most carried, it looks as though Len beats them all hands down when it comes to the most!

It' s pretty rare that I carry that much into the woods with me. I usually keep a lot of that in the truck. If I get a deer I would just drive my truck most of the way out there, and then get all that out. I still carry a good deal.

Bow
Climbing stand
Bow string
Fanny Pack
Screw in bow holder
Doe Call
Buck grunt
2 way radio
flashlight
something to eat (sandwish or snack)
water
small wood saw
release
doe in Estrous
Scrape Mix
Buck Urine
scent wicks
knife

I think thats about it.
