Small Game Hunting Packing List
Updated: Mar 19
Typically, when I go hunting for small game it’s only for a day. I usually wrap up a little after lunch if it was a good enough morning, to be honest. Below is a list of everything I bring with me. I wanted to make a list so you can see what you might want to bring as well.
Clothing
Boots or comfortable shoes. (keep in mind that morning dew can drench your feet)
Overalls or pants made from synthetic fabric. (get something durable that can handle thorns)
Small game hunting vest with pockets for shells, and a back pocket for the kill
Lightweight jacket or hoodie (nothing too warm because you’re gonna be moving a lot)
Orange hat or vest (even if it’s not required I highly recommend you bring it so your gun line can see you)
Gloves for moving debris or pulling at thorny brush
Equipment
Shotgun
No. 6 shotshells (at least 20)
Headlamp (for getting in place before sunrise)
On Truck
Skinning knives
Ziploc bags
Yeti Cooler
Water and Gatorade
Lunch and snack stuff
Plastic foldable cutting board
Hand sanitizer
Baby wipes
