Essential Gear For Your Big Horn Hunt

Your equipment has to all fit into two small zippered duffel bags (20 lbs each), Totaling 40 lbs.! Not including sleeping bag and gun or bow. Your sleeping bag can be rolled separately. If your duffel bag is not waterproof, line it with a large, heavy-duty trash bag. I strongly encourage a waterproof cover for your bedroll as well. These are available at most outdoor equipment suppliers. This will keep your sleeping bag warm, clean, and dry. A comfortable sleeping mattress will be furnished for your use in camp.

What's Expected

 Weather can range from warm fall days to cooler snow days, depending on the hunt dates. Usually, it’s comfortable, but this is the Rockies, weather can change at any time. Layered clothing is recommended. Wool is an excellent choice, nylon outer garments or smooth gortex jackets are not. Some people on the early rifle hunts like to wear jeans. These are fine as long as they fit snugly. Good quality rain gear is a must. For hunting, any of the quieter styles are an excellent choice. You won’t necessarily need rain pants for hunting, but they are essential should it be rainy on the ride in. Footwear is most important. You will encounter all types of conditions, rain, step terrain, mud and creek crossing. I recommend a pair of leather boots with “Air-Bob” or Vibrum soles with heels. On the later hunts, a good pair of pack boots is a must. You will be crossing creeks, so you boots need to be waterproof and as tall as you can find. Either way, they need to be broke in before you get here. Gaiters are another great idea. Mornings will be cool with dew on the ground, gaiters will keep you warm and dry. I use a fleece covered pair to lessen the noise. Elk have an excellent sense of smell, sight and hearing and every bit as cagey as Whitetail Deer. Everything you can do to give yourself an edge should be done.
