Bubba stole my thunder thats is the one thing I never leave. I keep an extra gallon of water in all of my rigs and I even got this dandy camo back pack with a camel back in it this year for my B-day. Other then that my release cause I cant hit the broad side of a barn with fingers.

My most prized possesion that I couldn't imagine going without would be my bow holster!! That cheap little piece of equipment has saved my bow arm from falling off more times than I can remember!

My daypack, which contains a cell phone, pepsi, snacks, rangefinder, knife,
drag rope, extra release, matches, compass, etc., etc. Don't like to hunt
without it.

Tough question as I believe each piece of equipment that I carry does have some important purpose or I would not be carrying it.

I guess I could ditch the binoculars, gps, water bottle, rangefinder, etc.... but I think that I would absolutely need a flashlight or I would walk into too many things and have too many hunters in my area mistake me for a deer...

I could make do without anything, except a bow and an arrow. However, the one thing I'd really miss, is my 2-way radio. I generally hunt by myself and the security of being able to contact someone has eased my mind. Funny, 20 or 30 years ago, this would have never crossed my mind, but now that I have it, I want to keep it.

I should mention, it would be tough to be without a knife, especially if I shot something.

Yup treestand,be it climber,fixed,or ladder,the one thing that goes with these beside my saftyharness above all would be my hoist rope and or a spare ,
afterall it would be impossible if not a very smart move too climb with one hand[]

I couldn't do without my tru-talker deer call, I called deer in from up to 200+ yards and buck with that thing. Then of course i might need the license with me

So many important things, I'm not sure what I'd want to be left without. I'd probably miss my binoculars the most if I didn't have them. I like to watch squirls and turkey when there are no deer around.
