Watch the old boys. Always worth watching the old boys. They didn't get old by being silly. Like old stags.
Whats in your stalking kit?

Worth their weigh in gold!
Agree to a point....one of my best mates either drives truck to where he wants to ambush the deer and shoot off the back...or does the same with the quad. Old and wise ...just not practical for most of us
The other old and wise trick is make sure there is always someone younger on hand to drag and gralloch the deer after you have shot them. To be fair I am always happy to do the leg work for my elders

I think that's called "paying in advance". No bad thing.Agree to a point....one of my best mates either drives truck to where he wants to ambush the deer and shoot off the back...or does the same with the quad. Old and wise ...just not practical for most of us

To be fair he lets me shoot on all his ground and often (when its an early morning) on my own so more then happy to repay the kindness. I have taken him on a couple of paid stalks on Muntjac and CWD that arent present on his ground (with me paying of course). I think that gratitude goes a long way.I have an IKEA bag for carrying roe back to the car. It was always difficult to pack it down to pocket size but recently I have been folding it and vacuum packing it which shrinks it right down - I vacuum pack after butchering anyway so popping the cleaned bag into a fresh one each time is no hardship and really does make difference to the bulkiness.
On the same track, in the summer when I have fewer available pockets for my (fairly modest) stalking kit I use an old fly-fishing vest I was given and have never used for fishing.
As I have aged I really want to carry less - this works well.
