What do you always forget to bring elk hunting?

Recommended Posts

See there with all that gear you forgot something. I'll tell you what I won't ever forget ear plugs. This past hunting trip I slept in a tent with someone who snores really bad. My son suggested that I put ear plugs in before bed. Well the rest is history. I won't ever forget them. They also work great for nose plugs too.

Also lance you forgot carpet.....oh wait.

That's my father in laws list.

He likes (got me hooked on it too to be honest) carpet for a tent floor for our Alaknak tents.

Actually it's pretty plush...lol

My list for an elk hunt is short, and I can't remember when I've forgotten anything:

 

Camo clothing appropriate for weather, rifle, ammo, binoculars, knife, 6x8' tarp, meat saw, hatchet, chain hoist, rope, game bags, case of bottled water, cell phone, license, tag, reservation at closest motel, American Express card.

I always forgot my pillow too. Now I always leave one rolled up in my sleeping bag.

My wife. But that's on purpose. <_<

 

I have a few lists - separated by what I'm hunting and whether I'm car camping or backpacking - but they're really short compared to Lance's list. I wanna be in his camp, though because french toast are tasty.
