Where the skys are so blue!
My wallet and keys go in my backpack when I leave the truck. Phone stays in my right pocket. I can access it to use the GPS walking in, even with the saddle on. Once i get to the tree I stick it in a cargo or jacket pocket.

Keys stay in the truck - electronic keypad still works most of the time. My wallet goes in cargo pocket and most of my hunting jackets have a chest pocket for my phone.

Military surplus BDU pants with cargo pockets,,truck keys hidden near truck,,wallet stays in back pocket (don't need it while hunting anyway). Jacket pockets also. If I had access to 100 pockets seems like I'd be one short every time---hahahahha

Exactly how I operate, except since I'm left handed, phone in left pocket.

Wallet stays in buttoned back pocket since I ccw, keys go in smallest compartment in my backpack. Phone goes in chest pocket or hand warmer pocket. I team hunt so I need to stay in contact with my partner. Also, I always place keys in exact same spot so as not to lose them and so partner can find them in an emergency.

Keys at truck if I’m hunting with someone or in my pack if I’m alone. Wallet in pack, phone in pack when it’s warm and chest pocket when it’s cold. I throw a hand warmer in with it in the winter to help keep battery life. The only reason I get it is to take pics of deer or other things

Keys hidden near truck. Gas cap or on top of front tire. Or in it as I have a code. I typically hunt with other people and we sometime hunt out of rentals.
Wallet in truck.
Phone is in my hand or in my front pocket.
Grunt tube is in cargo pocket. Usually right hand side.
Compass is in front right pocket.
Milk weed is on right side of waist belt of pack.

I carry a second wallet for in the woods use that only has my hunting licenses, CPL permit and an expired DL for proof of identification in it which I keep in my rear pocket. Since it only has essentials its really thin and doesn't bother me there. Keys carry in the front pants pocket, I don't need access to them other than when I'm at the truck. My phone slips into one of the larger front pockets on the pack so I can access it if I need a position check on GPS, access readily in the stand or to call the wife on the way out to let her know I'm safe on the ground (no cell service where I put camp for most of the season).
