I hunt from a ground blind so I carry a blind bag to/from the blind. In it I have tp, folding hunting knife, filet knife, spare gloves, spare ammo, headlamp, 2 bottles water, protein bar, shoulder length veterinary gloves, 20' length 3/8" rope, licenses, spare toque

First aid kit, wet wipes and toilet paper, water purification kit, gps & compass, range finder, binos, headlamp, extra batteries, field dressing kit, nitrile gloves and ziplock bags, twist ties, folding hand saw, drag rope, tinder box, 3 piece rod and basic cleaning kit, snacks and water, wool gloves, foam sitting pad, tags and license, electronic ear pro, cleaning wipes for optics.
I add extras when needed like shears, game bags, rain gear, tarp as the situation warrants or it’s in my truck if I need it. Ramp in the bed of the truck, tow ropes and tie downs on the quad.
My general pack minus water weighs 10-11 pounds, so with extras it might be 12-15 pounds max.

Depends on what I am hunting at the time... but staples are flashlight and headlamp, knives (usually two), folding Sierra saw, pruning shears, space blanket, lighter & waterproof matches, windshear turtleneck, gloves, fleece face mask, socks, rangefinder, binoculars, water bottle, power bars and granola, often other odds and ends of food.
I have spent many unplanned nights comfortably (relatively), in the woods with only my standard daypack, had to do it twice this fall alone... one night was supplemented with grouse stew... the wild mushrooms sent me on a bit of a wild trip, must have dropped a psychotropic one in there.

Spare knife, flashlight, headlamp, extra batteries, butt wipe, lunch and snacks, knife sharpener, game shears, fire starter and tinder, extra ammo, extra pair of socks, rope, simple first aid supplies, bug dope if early season and flagging tape. Compass goes in jacket or vest pocket. Primary knife is on my belt. Gloves in jacket pockets as is cap or toque as extra headgear (often it's frigid in the morning but warms up substantially in the pm). Water is in bottles on waist pack. Sometimes I'll stuff my binos in there as well, or I'll have them around my neck. I think that about does it...
