Pretty much the same as most.......for day hunts up north the phone stays in the truck, no service where I hunt. Just a small pack stropped to my Waldrop Pac Seat and off I go. A bow and 4-5 arrows.......good for the day.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

...I don't bring food unless I'm elk hunting where I might be walking around a lot. For my stand hunting I have to watch what I eat and that means skipping lunch

Sam McMichael

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...
"Life,Liberty & the pursue of deer & turkeys."

Pointer

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.
