Archery - Stand & Sticks w/ bow and release & headlamp

If I get a deer I will pack up & get to my vehicle where my CamelPak is with everything else I need.
This let's the deer expire and maybe even enough time to get a buddy to help retrieve.


Gun - CamelPak, gun & bullets.

My CamelPak has 32 oz of water in the bladder, knife, gut kit (2 Freezer bags for organs, some paper towels & surgical gloves), Hunters Gold (T.P.), pen, food, rope, flagging tape, flashlight, sling

I don't carry bino's anymore unless I know the spot I'm setting up in is fairly open. My rangefinder is magnified so works great for getting an up close look at something in thick cover.

This looks like a lot, but it's because I added some details. I think it's still pretty minimal compared to my last season! :)

Assault
Sticks
Bow
Release
Phone
Pull rope
Headlamp
Harness/line mans belt/tree strap
2 carabiners (use both with linemans belt, then transition 1 to tree strap and use the other to hang my quiver from my seat)
License(s) and tags
Phone charger (yup, because I don't want to be out there with a dead phone and they're like $10)


Optional (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't)
Rangefinder
Grunt
Antlers


I feel like I'm forgetting something. I always feel like that though.

Camera bag/Fanny- DSLR, Canon G30, Go Pro, extra batteries for all, headlight, rangefinder, mics, lens pen, prime lens, release, phone

Depending on where I'm headed I a lot of times need hip waders. I strap my boots to my stand with kwik straps and change at the tree.
