hmmmm
so tomorrow is the opening of rifle season in the Cariboo for mule deer, I have access to a ranch that I can drive in and go sit at a pinch point for the day.
I was looking at the gear and this is what I carry in my day pack... Platypus 2 L water bag, toilet paper in a plastic bag, space blanket, small black kit.. With flagging tape, extra AA batteries, piranta knife, 10 extra blades, Bic lighter, gun pull, lens cleaner, Band-Aids, Leatherman, firestarter... Cotton balls soaked in vasoline. rubber gloves,cordage,hand cleaners.blood tracking light..
Butt out tool.. Knife sharpener, cough drops , brunton..helios.. Hundred kilometer per hour flameless survival lighter, hunting license... Tags, BC WF card, PAL etc, hunting knife..Marty Beets.. Custom , Tikka Headlamp , Leica 1200 rangefinder, SP OT.. With new batteries, digital camera in pelican case, extra battery.
I will be taking trekking poles... For the 50 yard hike, rope bag, pack frame, binoculars and harness and my new Jim Shockey shooting sticks.. Tripod.
.270 rifle.. 140 grain Hornaday boat tail bullets, sighted in for 200 yard.. Checked yesterday..
10 rounds of ammo, Leopold scope... 3.5 X 10... Boone and Crockett redicle.. GPS, cover scent, lunch.. Rain gear..
I am going to set up a game camera for after I leave... I can check on it in week or so.
Hopefully the rain stays away and the deer are moving.. I don't plan on being back till after dark.. An enjoyable day just sitting in the woods.
Didn't realize how much gear and equipment it takes, or I take just one day..lol..
cheers
