The only thing I would remember would be the monumental backache carrying all that crap would cause ...

Clothes on your back , shotgun , knife , call . Throw in some Permanone™ and beef jerky and that's all you need . Well , maybe some Charmin™ ...

I did that last year with the pruning shears that are SUPPOSED to be in my Turkey vest. Ended up buying a second pair!

Permanone is a must!!! A fat pouch of RedMan and a bottle of Dew!
I think I would have listed the camera right under license, shotgun and shells..but maybe I'm just a photo freak! Camera goes on EVERY hunting and fishing trip, and even checking traps!

Ditto on the Permanone. I don't go in the woods without it on.

Pass on the chew.

I do do the Dew - Diet of course..

Camera? You bet.. Lots of great pictures to capture in the woods.

I live close enough that I have a smaller list, but you can never be too careful. I didn't see a compass or GPS. I like to carry one.
