The wait is over!!!!!!!!!!!
The long wait is finally over, got my colorado elk tag. Now the work begins. Need advise from the pro's. I will be going in on horseback so we have to keep it as light as possible. First season rifle so ill be there Oct 13-17. The guide has all the camping gear we need, just need a few more personal things. This is my first big game hunt so i need a little push.
1.i have a 110E in .270 and a 444. Im meticulous about my shooting, i know 270 is plenty but thinking of a rebarrel to a 30-06 or 7RM. I have shot the 7mm and dont have any problems with the added recoil.(been shooting the 444 for a long time).
2.Bring 2 guns or 2 scopes with quick detach mounts, just in case (pre-sighted of course and leaving the 444 home)
3.Gear suggestions, been looking at Teton sports sleeping bags, any thoughts?
any favorites for base layers
i ordered a pair of Kenetrek boots, cant wait for them to get in, and a pair of gor-tex hikers
I got a sweet lightweight day pack
bought a leica range finder, my cousin has the binoculars
I have about 1k left in the gear budget any and all help really appreciated
