No bag. Pocketknife, small flashlight, binoculars and Thermocell (when needed).

No matter what im hunting, i carry my backpack with me.

It holds my binos, bottle of water, light snack, flashlight/headlamp, facepaint, extra scent spray, knife, and my wallet. I hate sitting on my wallet for hours so i put it in a zippered pouch.
When bowhunting i also stand my quiver up in it. I dont like to shoot with it on, so i use it to hold my arrows to keep from cutting my bag.

[AJ the TP Guru]

ep, I kinda figured that one out years ago. Flashlight, pocket knife, cell phone, handkerchief. When hunting the hogs, my .40 Ruger. That's about it.

Now if we're talking about a 5 mile still hunt for elk in Colorado, well, that's something else again.

Knife, bottle of Coke, small flashlight and a thigh pocket of folded paper towels. That's it.

Reminds me of a Pat Travers song...

[Mudcatz]

Pocket knife flashlight. Rest stays on 4wheeler. It's always within a few hundred yards. If I shoot something always go to 4wheeler before tracking.

[Cold 1]

I have my knife on my belt and bino's around my neck and TP and phone in my pocket. Water bottle in my hand. Only carry pack when it's cold and I need warm clothes.

I hunt a short distance from my ride right now, and I still bring a bunch of stuff with me which I don't think it right or wrong (Note - majority of my hunting in the dark for hogs):

-charged backup 18650 batteries for kill light/vape
-headlamp with red light setting (without cycling through)
-knife
-snacks
-water
-pee bottle
-large, powerful flashlight for blood tracking
-zip ties
-energy drink for the long hunts (who am I kidding, they are almost always long hunts)
-hand corn
-wind checker
-remotes for feeders (even though they don't always work)
-external battery to juice up the phone
-earbuds (one night I was hunting hogs pretty late and was tired and restless and about to call it quits and head back to camp - I decided to listen to some Jerry Jeff Walker with one ear bud in and hunt a little longer...a couple songs in, a hog came in...I got to finish the album cleaning a hog and putting him in a cooler)

TP is always in the car. Always. But not in my bag.

I get what you are saying. I don't need all that I bring. I could pack less. I also like being prepared for a long hunt without having to wonder if I'm going to potentially lessen my chances hunting by making a trip to get something before the shot with movement and scent.

I can't take myself too seriously though by "controlling" the hunt. For all I know, I have missed an opportunity at a group of hogs I could have stalked up to if I left where I was sitting all night waiting for them to come to me.

[BlackHogDown]

I only take a few things along with the usual pocket stuff (knife/phone). Anything killed will be cleaned at the barn so no need for cleaning supplies.

-bow
-binos/RF
-thermocell (new)
-corn (hand tossed on my way in)

If rifle hunting, I'll take my fanny pack with a few more things. snacks/adult beverages, earbuds for football, and last but not least.... WASP SPRAY!

EDIT: Lost track of the point LOL to answer OP question, I don't carry a bag when bow hunting. Only if I'll be in the stand with some room to spread out.
