Whats in your stalking kit?

[Heym SR20]

A sense of humour.

Always needed especially after you have spent a whole day out on the hill or in the woods, in cold wet sleety conditions and seen absolutely nothing.

You have unloaded the rifle completely given up and get back to the car to find lots of deer hoof prints all around the car. Almost as if they have been having a party at your expense. Then the large stag saunters by just after you have got out of your wet kit rifle is the boot etc.

This lot plus a tiny first aid kit. All in pockets or on my belt.

I should say that at some point I've forgotten every item in the picture and only when it was the ammo or the bolt did it really matter.

I know what you mean. You realise you've left forgotten something essential... but the rifle will still shoot, so you press on, sans binos, or whatever. Without the essential thing, you improvise, adjust your tactics, and end up having an unexpectedly good time.
