Everything above and
compass
toilet paper/current hunting regs (thank god they went to larger paper format)

[soup]

It all depends on where I'm going, what I'm going for and how long I plan on being out.

Usually I'm hunting locally for small game and I bring very little.

In my backpack you will generally find the following:

First-aid kit, including quick clot gauze for gunshot wounds
Whistle
Seat/Cushion
Drag Rope
Knife
Thermos with something hot in it
Water
Cloth bag for smaller game
Headlamp with extra batteries

When I'm out for a long period of time or in a place I'm unfamiliar with I bring the following additional items:

Compass
Maps
Food
Emergency Blanket
Matches
Toilet Paper


Of course weather plays a part as well.

Hand warmers, extra socks, gloves etc...

I probably have more little things in there that I can't remember right now...

I guess it's because I hunt around the farm and on the move a lot but I carry far less than the above posters.

Rifle with scope and sling or Redhawk
10 rounds of ammo
Fixed blade knife in belt sheath
Drag rope
Rubber band for tagging
Pen or pencil
Candy bars
Couple of paper towels
License and additional ID

If I'm hunting bear or grouse in bigger country, I'll add map and compass and sometimes lunch and fluids.

For small game,

Shotgun
10-15 rounds of ammo
Pocketknife
License
Candy bars
plastic bread/grocery bags
