Elk must haves.
« on: June 09, 2011, 10:14:23 AM »
I am putting cabelas cart to get everything i need for elk hunting in early oct. I have so far, gun and all that taken care of. Rain coat. lightweight camo clothes, good boots, knives and skinning equipment. Getting a survival kit, and elk calls and scent cover. Is there anything else you would add to this list? I know there is alot more to be added. Adding blaze orange markers, and my uncle has GPS and maps, also a pack frame. Any other "essential" i should add?
thanks

yea, a bow, some arrows, an archery elk tag, and change your season date to Sept. Lots less people and lot more relaxed critters.

Shhhh don't let everyone know..I love how the archery season is overcrowded and you bump into someones turds everytime you come around the corner.  That's my soul reason that I archery hunt!

In addition to the above recommendations, packable rain gear and great boots. I just got my new Lowa boots a few weeks ago and have already broken them in. Sweet!
