Bow Hunting Gear

[tgomez]

A good quality pack that will hold your bow and pack out meat after you make a harvest. One with a good back pad and belly band. Don't forget to bring a few good game bags as well.

Dude, send me an email and I’ll send you my backcountry hunting checklist. It’ll give you a good idea of all the necessary items one needs when venturing into the elk woods with stick n string. From there, you can start some inquiries about recommended items in individual categories/items if you wish. RJ

I'm always a mile or two from camp or the truck so I carry everything to field dress , quarter and haul first load. Knife set , game bags,  small pack frame . I also have a good GPS and head light plus extra batteries in case my tracking takes me till dark. My first bow kill I was no where near ready for dressing and hauling . All other lists good advice .
