[QUOTE="tackb, post: 288088, member: 8624"] FWIW i think for day hunting you are all loading yourselves up with a bit too much gear! Rifle ammo binos knife mars/snickers bars gerber (gun repairs and backup knife) wear goretex (maybe take a thin fleece) good boots drink from burns(small flowing streams)(take a puri straw if your worried) 8 foot drag rope (for extracting deer) map and compass(no batteries!) milldot master (for long shots)(or range finder) remember that you can manage without food for a couple of days if absoulutly nessacery as long as you have water. most of this stuff will fit in your pockets or a small shoulder bag I'm not saying don't take all your fancy gear but sit down and look at your list then look again and decide 'do you really need it?' there is a lot to be said for traveling as light as possible......... just my opinion having carried tons of gear to and from hunting trips and realising i never used 3/4s of it. Russ oh, here in the uk we don't have to worry about bears but if we did i think i'd shoot it with my rifle before i used a .357 revolver? in my opinion pistols are only for fighting your way to a rifle............
