Bowhunting equipment

I'm relatively new to hunting and wanted to see what gear I should carry in my backpack and what you guys carry.

 

Must have is a rangefinder and binos and a bow lol

 

I dont carry a rangefinder, But a Bow and Binos are a must. I carry a wastepack usually with my calls, field dressing equiptment, rubber gloves, Tinks spray incase I sweat a little and always take water.

 

My bow, rangefinder, water, wind checker, THERMACELL, towel washed in scent free detergent, scent killer spray, cellphone (turned OFF), Tink's Doe-P (in a zip-loc bag) and video equipment.

 

ThermaCell is a must!

Yeah, this is really really dumb but way back when I first started hunting (maybe 10 or 11) I had this stupid thought in my head that I might get lost and come across a pay phone.

 

I'll be backpacking into my hunting area, so food water sleeping gear dead down wind, binos rangefinder camera Bible fire stuff bow freezer paper salt and pepper knife. Things like that. I'll post my gear list as i get closer to going for those who are interested

 

well, with this upcoming seaosn only going to be my 2nd season, my list is pretty simple

knife, water, snack (nuts, trail mix, protein bar), cell phone, go pro, grunt tube.

looks like i'll be buying a therma cell. please post your full list when its time wreckless, i'm planning a pack in trip

 

I've been thinking about doing a season thread. But yeah, I can post my gear

 

Late season, I keep it simple, Knife, bow, 3 arrows, blood light.

 

Its easy to say "Too Much" until you need something or you're lost. Depending on where I am hunting can change what I carry. If it's a simple hunt small woods, local, I carry the basics which is still at times too much.
spare small light, P-cord, grunt, bug repel, T-Paper, spare batteries, saw, treble hook, reflective tacks,whistle, Ibprofin, zip ties,food bar, water.

If hunting in the mts, BIG woods, all the above plus;
space blanket, lighter, second piece of P-cord, compass, GPS, chem stick.

 

Bow/arrows/release first.

Binos are a MUST, on your chest, always ready.

Backpack with camera arm/camera (if you go that route), full water bottle, assorted grunt calls, rattling antlers, bow hoist rope, extra screw in bow holders, knives for killing, gutting and skinning and cell phone. Phone is a must. Toilet paper and two good flashlights (One for walking in/out...one for tracking).
