Benjamin Franklin
Elk hunters are a meticulous bunch. We have to be! There is a lot that goes into a successful elk hunt. Heck, just getting out the door is a highly involved process in and of itself:
Clothing…………………………..check!
Boots………………………………check!
Gun/ammo or bow/arrows…check!
Hunting license…………………check!
Sharp knife………………………check!
Food……………………………….check!
Water………………………………check!
Vehicle…………………………….check!
Now, what else do I need?
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation recently unveiled its Gear 101 gear list, the elk hunter’s essential gear checklist. It is intended for sportsmen and women who range from most avid elk hunter to the occasional. It is divided up in three sections: daytripper, multi-day and outfitted. From there, users can further customize according to weapon, either rifle or bow.
