Always too much. Early season not so bad, but I do have to bone out what I kill and pack it out. So 2 knives, steel, big trash bags. Camera, gps, rattling antlers, grunt tubes, can, limb lights, couple flashlights, extra batteries, limb snippers and folding saw, safety harness, nitro's and aspirin, mints, cord, hat, kitchen sink and that's all I can think of right now. Winter time bout twice that much due to all the heavy clothes I have to haul in. I walk in with just long-johns and insulated bibs. Still soaked with sweat when I get where I'm going. Put my heavy stuff on right before I get to the tree. If I kill something I just leave the heavy clothes in a trash bag under leaves and haul the meat out in back pack.
