Advice: first bowhunt

[Greatgoogamooga]

Not just my first bowhunt, my FIRST hunt.  A friend of mine has a farm with some nuisance deer. He invited me to come out and hunt to our heart's content this season.  I'll be going out in a couple of weeks with my boo backed hickory bow.

My goal is to keep my fool mouth shut and watch & learn.  He gave me a list of essentials to bring.  I'm looking for your list of what to bring.  He hunts with a compound.  Your list may be different.  Thanks, and wish me luck.

depends on where you live, but...
my hunting season started 10 days ago and this is the minimum of what I carry:
bow, quiver, and four arrows
pruners
binoculars
deer and elk calls
cell phone turned off
tags
flashlight

if i am going out for more than four hours i may also bring:
fanny pack
food + water
pad or stool
50 feet para cord
small saw
knife, lighter, compass, maps...
camera

I hunt in a temperate rainforest which is super thick and brushy (thus the pruners) as well as wet. i hunt within 10 miles of my house and within 3  miles of my car , so no need to carry butchering tools, pack-out gear, or much extra clothing.
 rainpants + coat are pretty essential where i am at- not just for rain but- it's dewy with plenty of long grass- like 6 feet long , and wet brush.

good luck
