    Grunt Call

    Well my input about the budlight/tobacco is those introduces very unfamiliar scents to the woods. If deer can smell your body odor, they can sure smell a beer. So I would never bring those with..
    Snacks
    Water
    Gloves
    License
    Binocs
    RangeFinder
    Knife
    Electrical Tape (for taping the license to horn)
    Headlamp
    Camo Bandanna for face mask
    If im planning on staying all day I bring a book to keep me for getting bored and leaving or falling asleep.
    (I actually shot my buck during gun season one year while reading a book, he sneaked up behind me at 1:00pm )
