I don’t see ammunition listed. I almost forgot ammo a couple times in the past...

Thanks. I've had a new box of Federal in my gun case for a month just so i didn't forget.

Game bags or something else to keep the flies off the meat, unless the ranch has a walk in cooler.

Don’t know the regs for where you’re going but you have orange gloves, hat, neck gaiter listed but no orange vest?

My gloves and gaiter are not orange, yet I see how my grammar was misleading. We are hunting on a ranch with a guide not public lands. But I will check into it. Thanks.

Two things Id get - gloves for your hands for processing . And a small tarp to lay the animal on when if you have to quarter it in the field. Keeps the meat off the dirt and dust. . Im sure theres a way to do this without it , but last year when we quartered our antelope I wish we would of had it .

Yeah a contractor garbage bag isn't a bad idea.
Can cut arm holes and use as rain poncho or cut open and use as a ground tarp to lay meat on.
Another piece of kit I really like is a fleece ear/head band. Can put it around ur ball cap and protect ur ears but not have to switch to a beeny.

If you are hiking a lot, prone to blisters I highly recommend injinji toe sock liners under your darn toughs. Helps a lot to keep the hot spots down.

Thanks everyone for the tips. Wish us luck as were are set to leave in a week.

Good luck..A couple items I didn't see listed: TP and a water filtration set up. May not need the water filter kit though...just depends on the terrain and how far from camp or truck you will be I guess.

A high quality spotting scope. You cannot see with a 10 power binoculars that you can see with a 20 -60 power spotter. I strained my eyes for days trying to find a good mulie bedded. I finally used my Huskemaw 5x20 rifle scope on 20x to scour the brush for a bedded buck. Once I found him after four days. I laid up and caught him and about 15 other deer bedded behind a small hill out of the strong wind.
He is now enroute to the taxidermist

I did not have a high quality spotting scope with me this year. I almost bought a Nightforce a couple days before my trip. I cussed myself everyday while hunting. I will have a good spotter next year for sure.

Jackets, coat, rain gear. Fatrascal.

You need to google a hunting pack list and look it over. I see no rain gear, saw, survival items, first aid components, etc.
