We all know you have multiple bows, dozens of arrows, and ten different types of camo patterns and boots, but when its 4 A.M. and you are packing the truck to go to your hunting ground, what do you take? Anything from what hat you wear to what types of points you have in the quiver. So here is mine.
53# @ 28" Tomahawk Diamond SS
2 MA-2 Broadheads with wooden shaft
1 Judo point
1 Blunt/Flu Flu

Facepaint if I feel that tough
BUCK Skinning Knife
