For an Arizona deer hunt......I carry a 6 arra hip quiver in it are, 4 BH's and 3 judo tipped (one is piggy backed). 2 extra BH's duct taped under foam pad.
In my ROCKY MTN fanny pack an extra string, knife, multi-tool, bow wax, stick of hot melt, a lighter, some arti sinew string, extra-finger tab, Zip ties, 2.5 qts water or more depending on hunt season, a small mill file, DMT knife sharpener, GERBER ex-change blade saw, tiny tube of super glue, 10ft of para-cord. Thats just whats in the pockets of the fanny pack! In the main compartment a fleece pullover, 10X binos and sometimes 15X bino with a tripod. Upper compartment camera and lunch. Lunch usually consists of a hand full of elk jerky strips and a couple sticks of pepperjack cheese packs and a PBJ bagel ;).
My outings usually requires at least 5-6 miles of walking/hiking and long hours glassing over open terrain.I know I'm missing couple of more items. 8)

3 arrows.  I have been hunting with a bow for almost 35 years and have never needed more than two arrows and the only time I needed two was for a grey squirrel....tough little guys.  I travel pretty light and keep it simple.  All grownups should have a knife and a lighter in their pocket.

4 or 5 broadheads and one field point, everything else goes in my pack, if any of you saw dual survival in the Klamath that's the kind of terrain I have to hunt most of the time, got to bring extra stuff incase you fall and break a couple arrows or something

I hear you bubby.  I am always within cell phone service (which kinda sucks) and never more than an hours walk from the camphouse, so it isn't a big deal to travel light.  The greatest challenge with Alabama bow season weather is not getting bug bit or sun burned!  In that kind of topography I would go ahead and ruck up too.

Kinda like suntanning in North Dakota...it's walking a fine line between sunburn and freezerburn.

I tend to just carry a few arrows in my quiver, it's the stuff in the backpack that starts to resemble the Beverly Hillbillies loading loading up the truck and heading to California.

Frostbite?  you mean Ice Tan  8)

I still need to build something to go in my quiver.  Odds are I'm going to cheap out and tie up some trade points to tomato stakes or homebrew dowels, and have a nutter on hand in case I come across squiggles.  Other than that, my belt knife, a buck folder, and a pocketful of smokehouse almonds.

My quiver usually has 4 stone tipped cane, bamboo or dogwood arrows with self nocks and eastern woodland two feather fletch. A dogwood blunt or two similar to my hunting arrows and probably some leaves and grass, maybe a few twigs. ;)  Josh

If you were hunting any more au natural you'd be wearing mocs and a bunny fur banana hammock.  And please feel free to do so, if so inclined.  Here is where I will finally draw the line and NOT ask for you to post pics.  Some things CANNOT be unseen. 

I wish it were legal to hunt with stone points here.  I'm mighty jealous of you on that point, Josh.
