So much depends on where he's hunting. I hunt farmland in NYS, I can hear the kids playing while waiting for the school bus... The farmers and other locals as well as my family know my stand locations,in fact we sign in and out up at the main farm.

What I carry here is much differant then say when I backpack for elk in Montana. But a hunter will carry well a lot of hunting stuff. Calls,scents, gutting gloves,bino's extra tree steps and a safety harness. One or two lights,headlamps are handy.Some snacks and water,although I often go to town for a turkey club .

My day is spent 20 feet up a tree, my risk is falling not getting lost and spending the night.

In remote areas same as if i was hiking there,fire making stuff,something for shelter.
