Sounds like I'm in good company.
I carry a lot of gear when I go hunting just not in my pack. Pack carries just the essentials and I don't make noise. ( meaning I do not call or rattle).
I carry climbing stands, and I have a ghillie suit if i choose to still hunt, but it's hard to beat the camouflage sleeping bag, and a turkey seat. On one occasion, i dug a pit blind to hunt an open field ( with the permission of the owner of course) he had never seen one used, and wanted it left afterwards.

My bucket-list contains all forms of hunting, except 2. I will not high fence, or remote rifle. Everthing else, has my interest.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
