Good Hunting to you and your pard . You will add some stuff and cut out some stuff after you have done this a while .Learn as you go . watch your animals close they will tell you a lot about what's around. Wouldn't hurt to take a little grain for the ponies . Keeps them a lot happier after a hard days ride or packout . Been there. Slenk |

You didn't put tags on the top of your list because of me did you...... |
| Idabooner:
Michael, how many people going in? How many mules you packing? I've never had 1/2 that stuff in my camps so you should get by fine. Like Slenk said, watch your mules, they will tell you what's out there. Just remember to make nature work for you no matter what she dishes out. Keep your night horse tied good. Have fun, it will be a great experience for you. GOOD LUCK. :) |

I'd leave the fishing pole at home. I'm a die hard fisherman...trust me, but if you are serious about your tag I say go for broke on the elk. There really never is down time. A handful of grain in a small contianer. Does wonders if for somereason you need to do some horse catching. Always slip them a nibble when you hobble them and turn them loose. It turns one of the small wheels in there head. You can ask the horse experts, but never turn every animal loose. Its warm enough, you may still want some bug dope. You have been up high so know how that is going. Spare batteries for flashlights, can;t remember if that was on your list and most of all Toilet paper. Not sure if you said waterfilter either, or purifying tablets. You seem to have alot of gear you might not need. How many mules are you taking? Idabooner used to always raz me. You can probably loose the grill if you are taking a camp stove. I'll look over your list again. |
