The Drawer For All Seasons

How much hunting “stuff” can you stuff into one small drawer I’ve often wondered? Well now I know!

In my garage I have an old dresser from when my kids were little. It’s just a typical 6 drawer dresser that I now use for miscellaneous household/fix-it items. Because I never have enough space for my hunting “booty” I designated a drawer for hunting stuff. Each time I open the drawer I think it’s going to break, as it weighs “an Irish ton!” Today I decided to empty it and see just what is actually weighing my ship down! Here is a list of what I came up with.

2-scope covers, 4-knives, 2-duck calls, 1-predator call, 1-grunt tube, small flashlight, cow elk urine scent wafers, ear plugs, old hunting license (unfilled) muzzleloader iron sights, broadhead sharpener, knife sharpener, Hoppe’s gun lubricant, gun cleaning rods, hand warmer, binoculars, bow release, string tracker, 2-30-06 rifle clips, 1-22 mag. clip, package of chalk, gun cleaning rag, scent masking wafers, directions to various properties, Hoppe’s gun cleaning patches, 1-box of 10 gauge shells, 1-box 12 ga. game loads, 1-box 20 ga, game loads, 2-boxes 22 long rifle, 1-box 22 mag’s, 1-pkg. 50 caliber bullets, 4-boxes 12 ga, slugs, 2-boxes 20 ga. slugs, 1-box of assorted shells and bullets, 1-box Winchester 3″ slugs, 2-boxes Remington 3″ slugs, 1-box 30-06 180 gr. core lokt rifle shells, 1-box S.W. 40 cal. 180 grain pistol bullets, primer cap removing tool (so thats where it’s been hiding!) broadhead cleaning toothbrush, and a stupid hearing aid I bought off an infomercial that was a total rip-off!

Man no wonder that little 14″x14″ drawer is so heavy! The sad thing about this whole story is I have five (5) other drawers just like this one. Don’t tell my wife!

    I loved this post Mike. That is one full draw. I have a cabinet at home that looks quite similar.

    Yowzers! That’s a lot of stuff packed in to a small place! :) I thought I was the master of cramming - now, I’m not so sure!
