Rifle. Binoculars. Hat. Sunscreen. Stuff mentioned above.

In addition to all the usual stuff, If temps are warm, I may bring a tarp for the primary purpose of providing shade while skinning an animal out. Can also be used to ride out a storm.
I may also bring some citric acid if its fly/bee season.

I like the idea of vacuum sealing your game bags. I've never thought of that.
