RE: Serious backpack elkin'
ORIGINAL: Rimrock
Muley, are you interested in a hunting partner? Im in the bitterroot also (hamilton) and i hunt pretty much only backcountry. Recently my hunting partners have moved to alaska and billings and otherguys i know refuse to go with me anymore cuz they dont like to hike far. I hunt alot on foot with backpack but i also have horses and a mule for packing camp or elk out if warranted.
if your interested my email is [email protected]

On another note, i just purchased my GPS replacement, went nuts and dropped 600 bucks on Garmin Colorado 400t. I've been messing around with it and so far i love it! My dwight pack set up arrived tonite, and i am still awaiting the rest of my gear. I am getting jazzed up!! Bow season opens in Hours!!! No hunting this weekend for me, as i am still in the preparation stages for my back country hunt, got a Muley tag for the same area.[8D]

Great forum Muley! This is exactly what I want to talk about. I live just over the mountains from you and I know what kind of gear, attitude, and what kind of shape you need to be in to do these kinds of hunts. I tend to be a minimalist that enjoys luxury, if that makes any sense. I enjoy talking about gear and how I can drop a few pounds out of my pack so I can hunt harder and not sacrifice comfort.
What do you take with you on a five day hunt in the backcountry? My goal here is to compair a few things if you would like.
