Information and Gear we Recommend for Back Country Hunting
The following is a list of gear and other information that will be helpful as you prepare for your hunt.

We do not provide personal gear! Bring what you need to be comfortable, but limit your gear to two duffel bags, (not including your sleeping bag or pad). Do NOT stuff all of your gear into one oversized duffel! if you arrive with one, gigantic overweight duffel, you will be asked to repack, this makes it difficult to pack the mules! It is best to use 2 bags (maximum weight 35 lbs per bag).

Hunting and Personal Gear we Recommend:
Rifle: sight-in your rifle at about 150-200 yards before your trip. We provide scabbards, please no oversized rifles scopes, they won't fit into our scabbards.
400 square inches of international orange (NOT camouflage orange).
Hunting License
Knife
Binoculars
Flashlight
Small first aid kit
Sleeping bag (rated to -10f) small sleeping pad and pillow, we provide cots
Filtered water bottle (optional.... to date we have never had a problem drinking directly out of the streams. Due to excess weight we do not pack in bottled water or sports drinks.)
Bring clothes for all kinds of weather
Small day pack (should not exceed 5 lbs for on your horse)
Alcohol - we do not provide it, but we will pack it in

Please, try to get yourself in the best physical condition possible! This will increase your chances for a successful hunt and make for a much more enjoyable hunt. Be prepared to do some horseback riding and hiking. Don't forget about the elevation.

Please tip guides and cooks separately.
