    Apart from your bow, arrows, broadheads and weather appropriate outergarments, what are you carrying into the woods to go hunting and why?

    Cover scent? tree stand? Ground blind? A buck call? Rattlebag/antlers? Bait? Your lunch? GPS?

    Tree stand, knife, concealed carry handgun, cell phone (for emergencies), and lunch.

    Thats about all I usually bring anyway, aside from some calls.

    Crap I forgot about the rangefinder. I guess if I had to choose between that and lunch, I'd choose the range finder.

    5 things……………… Aside from the bow, arrows and broadheads, I carry very few things. They would be.

    Years of woodsmanship skills

    Respect for my quarry

    A killer attitude

    An incredible practiced accuracy with my weapon

    An intense knowledge of animal anatomy

    when you add a bow and arrow, that’s about all one needs.

    5 just isn't enough. But I'd start with call, knife, binocs, range finder, and my back pack with all the other stuff I need. Is that cheating? BTW, my stands are out there already.
