Ok so since there are many types /styles of hunting I'll try to break it down into a few different categories. But here's the question.
Please state the type/ style of hunting you do most, what you take with you, and how you pack it.
I'll start
Aug-oct I call Elk in the thick brush. Day trips mostly ( return home every night)
I hike in so along with my weapon I use a modern modular frame pack that allows me to carry the first quarter out with me.
In my pack
Head light
Kill kit ( tags, knife, gloves, 50ft 550 cord, contractor bag, game bag)
2L water
Snacks/ lunch
Calls
Phone
First aid kit.
SOS bivy
Fire starter/ lighter
In my truck
I keep a large frame pack
Extra game bags
Trekking poles
Extra food/ water
deer hunting- day hunts. Hike in and call / rattle, walk cut lines, sometimes sit a tree stand
I generally go real light
Weapon
Binos/ range finder
Belt with extra bullets, knife
Small bladder pack under my coat with a folding saw, tags 12' rope drag, light, fire making kit, small first aid.
Calls around my neck
In the truck I keep either a calf sled or game cart, extra water/ food, warm dry clothes/ boots.
Coyote hunting- walk in sets usually truck to and from spots
Pack with built in back rest
E caller
Hand calls
Extra bullets
Binos
Range finder
550 drag
