What’s in your stalking bag

[Breaker Morant]

Hello everyone

What are you all taking out with you on a typical deer stalk in terms of equipment, knives and anything really to make things easier for yourself. Thanks

Massively depends on what your doing.A few hours stalk I take a sharp knife a set of sticks, binoculars and a packet of mints.i use an Alaskan guide bino harness that has pockets in great bit of kit.Knife and spare ammo is on the belt.The hill a small pack with a bit of food and drink toilet roll and littoe first aid kit.

Another tip buy decent socks and underwear nothing worse than chaffed balls halfway though the day.

[Magnificent 7]

Since I sold the Ranger with 8 years worth of goodies stashed away not much has built up in the D-Max...
Mind you I made a tow bar so my 100kg hoist will fit back on.....but that would be a wasted post on SD....

I use an ex-Army Camelbak (see: British Army Woodland DPM PLCE Individual Hydration System Camelbak).

It contains the following:

• a few small, handle-tie, plastic bags (for gralloch)
• half a dozen pairs of nitrile gloves in a small plastic bag (see above)
• half a dozen individually packed Clinell wet wipes (see Clinell Antimicrobial Hand Wipes Ideal for Travel - Pack of 100 Sachets - Dermatologically Tested, Kills 99.99% of Germs : Amazon.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science)
• folding gambrel and length of coated wire for going over a branch, with carabiner
• small first aid kit
• the top of one of an old pair of rubber wellies, cut down the back - ensures a dry seat if in a high seat, etc.

On the back I attach my rolled-up Poppins roe sack, and sometimes I'll stick some spare AA batteries in for replacing those in the various trail cams we have dotted about.

Most of the above would fit in pockets, but having it in the Camelbak means it's just a case of "grab & go".

I'll take a stab at a genuine answer to this.
Equipment wise, including the obvious rifle/scope/bolt/mod, I carry some B&Q garden cane sticks, binos round the neck.
'On the man' (belt and pockets) I carry a sheath knife, lock knife, map of area, lumicolour pen (to mark Fabloned map), Silva compass, notebook, pencil, kevlar glove, 4 x nitrile gloves, whistle, some hi vis tape in 1m lengths (to mark shot site and strike site in the event of a runner), and the BDS deer disease booklet.
In the pack (PLCE bergan, doubles as a 'roe sack'), spare rounds, FAC, med kit, 2 x thick black bags, wipes, a few extra nitrile gloves, water bottle, hi viz vest (could use as a marker panel if needed), small S hooks to do a suspended gralloch off a tree.
Using the pack as a roe sack has allowed me to ditch the bipod and if needed, use the pack as a rest from prone.

I'll soon be on an area where high seats are required, so have bought a Bushwear Panther which I'll be strapping on and walking in and out with as well.
All depends on the ground and what you might need or not.

With your walk in and out with the seat what is the plan if you shoot a large deer say Fallow?
Will it be 2 trips or 4 ?

 

[Overlay]

looped drag wire/ suspended gralloch, knife, phone, binos, sticks, rifle and two mags 3 rounds in each one,

 

[chrisstorey79]

It's muntjac only. I would probably do two trips if it had larger deer though. Secure the seat witha bike chain, take deer out, come back for high seat.
