Alright, I LOVE coyote hunting! Usually i grab a call, bullets, and some binoculars. Im wanting to make a "pack" to just grab and go. Any suggestions on what to put in there besides bullets, a call, and binoculars? Thanks in advance

Water, high energy food bars, aspirin, toilet paper, a compass, a folding knife, and a small digital camera.

Right on the money Uncle Jack! Cell phone, insect repellant, first aid kit.Quote:

In addition, to the great items already mentioned, I carry a ghillie and a Nikon laser range finder.
Thanks for all the info guys! I've already started putting the mentioned items in. One thing i did remember though is toilet paper LOL ;) don't go anywhere without that! And skypilot when you said ghillie do u mean like a ghillie suit?
Possibly shooting sticks, extra socks, sunscreen, and a snake bite kit depending we're you live. I always carry para cord and an emergency blanket, and a folding saw jic you need a splint.
My pack: 2 pair of socks, lighter in my pocket, plenty of water, protein bars, emerg. Blanket, ammo, lens pen, toilet paper in 1gallon ziplock, google map of area, compass, folding saw, cell phone, boonie hat, sunscreen, cover sent, calls, 2 pair of gloves, rain suit top an bottom, and guille suit
Yes, a light weight full length poncho style. Here in Canada they get some pressure from farmers, huntind with dogs etc. so it helps with the bigger wide open farm land.
I live in NW colorado probably a good idea to have a snake bite kit.
where would u find one of these for pretty cheap?Quote:

When I cut a hunt short it is usually due to one of my aw sh** moments; dirt in my muzzle, scope out of whack, broken backpack strap, blown out boots, etc. If I hada dollar for every time I had to use para cord for bootlaces...
Thanks slaroy didnt think of a repair kit. so i take it i probably need a lot of paracprd ???
I think we're getting carried away. By the time we're done he's going to need porters to carry all that stuff. :o
Ya Im kinda with u dogbone haha but if I'm gonna hike out there a ways I wanna be sure I'm prepared for any scenario but again I thank everybody who has given me any ideasQuote:

ATV? screw hikin with all that stuff.
I have to agree with most of the above. But as we can also see from the above, our pack is growing to suitecase size as we speak. I have found as i get older that the pack doesn't have to hold a weeks worth of stuff, thats a different pack. I pack a small "day pack" with enough to keep going for about three days every time i get out of the truck.
While i hate cell phones it is one thing you should have simply because if it's on, someone knows where you are. (it's only on if i'm in trouble.) My day pack has at any time, t.p, (no t.p. is why loggers end up with short sleeve shirts) old boot laces, energy bars, water, small skinning knife, folding prunning saw, qt. bag of animal cookies, poncho, many types of fire starter in water proof bags, etc.
Of course where you live will tell you what all you need. And yep the pack changes depending on where i'm going. (both mountians and sage brush are about 30 minutes away.)
Depending on where you are in this old world, you may want to take some Benadryl in case of bee stings or insect bites that you are allergic to.

Not necessarily a survival item but you could cut a few pieces of that 6 miles of paracord into 3-4 foot sections. Tie a hard loop in one end for your hand grip and a slip knot in the other end for the coyotes snout. Works great for long drags. Pack is a good idea to keep all your gear together.
