Thermocell and extra fuel and cartridges
snacks

gallon sized ziplock bags. Its really hot and humid here during bow-season. I will change shirts
after I get into my stand and maybe again later. Put the sweaty ones in the ziplock bag.
cough drops.
two strings to pull backpack and bow up to my stand
small cutting shears. I use these to trim limbs and attach them to my stand. remember to attach some
upside down so that they hide your legs.

[wtnhunt]

Hunt behind the house, so dont generally carry any more than I have to.
Can call
grunt call
binos or rangefinder
rattle bag
flashlight
and a two way radio

[doublelung45]

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.

[MUDRUNNER]

TP
True Talker grunt
Primos can
flashlight
Coon pee
Doe pee
Deer Permit
Fruit snacks

That's about it.I keep extra clothes and things like that in the truck.
