Besides guns/bows, what are some must haves every time you go out on a hunt . Anything you discovered after years of hunting and wish you had found sooner?

Gun, bullets, and knife are the only necessities but I will use a thermacell and buddy heater from time to time

Cut your drawers off and use them if you forget the TP.

When bowhunting....rangefinder is invaluable


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Used socks before, then t-shirt. Leave the underwear alone.

A pen or marker for your deer tag, ear muffs or ear plugs during rifle season. Those are 2 things that I've forgotten and regretted.

I carry a backpack with all kinds of stuff:

Binos, snacks, pee jug, water, phone, TP, knife, flashlight, rangefinder, thermacell, gloves,....I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting.
