Elk trip gear?
« on: August 15, 2012, 01:30:21 PM »
Hey guys going on my first week long bow hunting elk trip.  I think I have a pretty good grasp on what I am planning to take along but I'm sure as everyone knows when you think you have everything you get to your spot and think of 5 things you really wish you had.

Any advice or thoughts on what gear to bring or misc things I probably haven't thought to include?  Bow supplies, butchering, clothing, etc?

The list provided above and with the additional items also listed above are essential items/tools/equipment for survival when spending the weekend in the woods in my opinion. :rolleyes: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
