You know what I\u2019m talking about. You pace throughout the house talking to yourself, stuffing anything and everything into your tote or pack that you think you may even remotely need during the hunt away from home. I take a few minutes and write everything down. This is my backpack list for whether I\u2019m day-tripping it, or bivy hunting with my pack on my back all day while wandering around trying to find an ornery old bull who wants to bugle back. I\u2019ve found that I use very little of the gear that I carried in the past, so I have trimmed the list down to the essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
