Rhino Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Camo Clothing and the right boots for the weather conditions would be the 1st 2 things in line after my choice of weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Gotta agree with Al, (as usual) I can make it without a camo pattern, but if you can't be warm, you can't hunt. Boots are way high on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiepredator Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I would have to agree with everyone else and say good quality clothing. Make sure it's warm enough and will conceal you well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 A lot of variables would changes my answer: In general... Bow hunting: A dependable safe stand. Rifle hunting (rifle): Scope Shotgun hunting: Clothes / boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swohiodave Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 a good full body harness. I had the bottom piece of my summit stand get caught on a big knob on a tree i was climbing in the dark and it was until the rope caught it. luckily i was sitting on the top part of the stand when the bottom fell so i could pull it back up with some effort.

suro25 Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I would say to me good boots. If my feet get cold I'm done. Then warm clothing and safety equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 ammo or arrows That's pretty obvious Einstein. Thermacell during bow season and the first month of gun season. Warm clothes and good bino's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goinghuntin Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I gotta agree with most of the guys, I gotta have warm clothes/boots. Can't do without 'em :jaw: Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 My truck would be the most important. I have to get there...right? The right clothing and boots for the conditions are just as important. If you are not comfortable you are moving too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I really can't get it down to any one item as being the most essential. Everything I take has some vital role in the actual hunt, and it all has essential interactions in order to make the hunt possible or successful. Even right down to the folding stool that I take along that provides enough comfort to keep me on stand that critical extra amount of time. Heck, even a sandwich, bottle of water or candybar can wind up being essential to the hunt. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterbobb Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ok maybe this is too obvious and you might consider it part of the rifle. I think the most important piece of equipment is the scope sitting on top of the rifle. It might be more important than the rifle it's self. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc all are essential things for sure, but like doc said food and water of some type, to me is realy high on that list, i cant sit very long with my stomic growling.

BamaTrae Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I agree with all the other answers, but I'd add my 4-wheeler. I can't get those deer out of some of the best spots if I didn't have my ATV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
