IN AT this morning in the traditional section I posted what I normally carry in the woods when I go hunting & the thought come to me.
What do y-all carry?
This is what I wrote..
I cary a few things in my pack but none of em are any of those fancy doo dads that has been the kick for hunters.
Multi tool.
Water.
First Aid Kit w/ fire starter, Compas w/ maps.
Gloves & wipes for cleaning game.
Drag rope.
spare glasses, meds, Tab.
Grunt tube, & rattle bag.
no-scent powder for wind, Red Fox Pee for cover scent.
1 MRE.
Folding saw.
I cary 2 knives on me & my cell phone "but turned off."
Shower with Baking Soda.
I'm by no means a pro hunter where I get a Deer 99% or the time but then most seasons I can at least have 1 - 2 in my freezer, but I enjoy my time in the woods beeing one with nature & possibly take home a Deer & if I needed to I could make camp anywhere because of the little bit of gear in my pack & my noggin.
It all depends.. For close to home
