Okay, the obvious stuff is always in the truck, in the garage or at the ready next to the front door. But what about all that other stuff you wish you’d brought on your hunting trip, but didn’t? From my own “Ultimate Upland Checklist” here are a few suggestions:
 
For your hunting partner: e-collar charger; extra dog collar; dog food/water bowl; chew toy for those long drives; “Lost” posters just in case.
 
For camp: bungee cords; wet wipes; lawn chairs; ZipLok bags; those little packets of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise; extra flashlight batteries; boot dryer.
 
For your hunt: choke tube wrench; soft gun case; landowner gifts; game shears; sunblock; gunsmith screwdrivers; bandanna; “town” shoes; spare boot lace.
 
Add these to your own list and you and your dog will enjoy a more comfortable, less-hassled hunting trip. See you in the field!
