I try to keep it simple and leave room for when it comes time to remove layers of clothes as the tepm changes during the day. otherwise:

flashlight

calls

scents(scent killer, cover and deer pee)

Toilet paper (for the obviouse reason but it also works great for marking blood trails if you get so fortunate to be tracking)

water bottle

apple, candy bar, maybe sandwich

I also keep a small blind like the Ameristep Jakehouse. Its light and folds down to the size of a dinner plate. sets up in seconds and could be just enough to hide you and cover your movement if one appears in a field while walking to or from your stand.
