Most of my hunting is near, often in sight of, my son's house, so I don't take much emergency stuff, mostly something for bee stings and snakebite, plus my cell phone. Navigation is no issue on a 65 acre plot, simply don't cross any creek, fence, or road. No food or water is usually needed, because I can stop at my son's house on the way out for a cooling drink. In short, I take my hunting gear and little else. However, on a hunt further from home I take a lot more stuff, especially in regards to emergency gear and water.
-
Sam nails it-depends on location. If I'm out behind the house, I'll take a whistle and some marking tape for tracking, but if i'm up on the side of a mountain, I take emergency gear, a hunting knife and a piranta, fire starting stuff, food, water and some sort of purifier, and a light source of some sort. Also a rain shell and balaclava. And food..gotta have some "nosh"!
-
Not near as much stuff as I did in the past....maybe a little more for an all day sitting during the Rut.
One thing yall didn't mention that's a must for me this time of year is a Thermacell...
-
Bow, Arrows, Knife, oh yeah a drag rope
-
Sometimes I forget the rope
-
Toilet paper! :)
-
Hmmm... Usually forget that too.....

All depends on where I'm hunting. If I am at my brother's place and just a couple hundred yards from the truck I take very little. In an small fanny pack I will have my deer drag, flagging tape, knife some water and a snack. If I am on the state land I love to hunt which allows me to wander over some 17,000 acres I take a larger fanny pack with some other things that can come in handy in case I should suffer a little mishap that causes me to not be able to get back to the truck by dark. Then I add a small first aid kit, head lamp, fire starting kit, compass/gps and top map, some twine and a multi-tool along with a good quality space blanket. On colder days I'll throw some chemical hand warmers in there and maybe a thin wool watch cap. I also have a foam seat tied to the pack.
