Greetings,
I have around 20 days till my First Elk hunt, it is a self hunt.
We will hit the slopes around 4 am and stay out till late afternoons.

I have some silly willy questions, here goes:

1. Energy bars - what do I get.
2. Which call should I use - I am hunting the 2nd rifle in CO Springs.
3. Which skinning knife?
4. Smell - I was thinking of washing my clothes with scent free detergent and taking along some use a scent free soap to shower, Do I need those sprays? douse myself in Elk urine ;-)?
5. Backpack - I have a nylon internal frame day packing backpack which I will cover with an orange vest. To pack meat out, I bone out the meat in trasher compactor bags and carry it out in my backpack?
6. Thin wool socks - I went through my sock drawer and I have thick wool socks, being kinda on the warm side in 20 days, what sock would you suggest?
Any other suggestions?

I am back - no Elk :-( but tons of fun, report below in a seperate post.
