Starting to hunt, what gear is neccesary???

[J Hartman]

Ok so here is what I have so far. I have 3 different sets of camo for warm weather, a back pack, and a fanny pack. I also have two calls a Primos buck roar, and a Primos lil' can. My scent elimination should be up to par, and my storage bag still has plenty of room. What are some things I should be bringing with me in the woods. I'm thinking a rangefinder in the near future, and maybe a rattle bag. to get to the point, i have some big storage space with nothing in them, what do you all like to carry?

Treestand(s), binocs, and a flashlight come to mind first. Don't worry too much about all the little stuff unless you see for yourself you will benefit from it. If limited on treestands, go with a climber for convenience and comfort. Most agree on Summit leading the way in climbing treestands. Binocs- buy the best you can afford!

Just worry about the basics for now. Gun, binocs,stand or blind, (my first years where spent sitting on ground)flash light, tp, orange hat and orange vest. Don't worry about the extra room in your pack that is just less weight to carry, and more to sift through when you need something. Besides thet pack will fill up soon enough. Oh, and a notepad and pen to take notes on what you want in your pack for the next hunt.
