[QUOTE="Dean Parisian, post: 643038, member: 1011"] You might want to look at a good Badlands fanny pack........I hunted with one all fall and really like the fit and ease of getting things in-n-out. A good camera, good clothing using layers, learn to use a cow elk call, they are really cheap and might help you out in the seconds when things get tense on a big bull. I know friends who have hunted the Bitterroots and have had plenty of wolf issues ie; much lower game populations these past few years. I suggest you get on some great elk hunting websites, MonsterMuleys.com has a good elk section and Idaho section. Theres plenty of elk hunting sites out there. Did you call any of the unsuccessful hunter references from the outfitter or only the successful ones? On driving out, have your mapquest maps, flashlights, water, tools, spare belts and spare tires in an accessible place and keep your gear under lock all the time. Good optics and carrying straps, knowing how to swing out of a saddle and pull your rifle out of a scabard quickly will help and using shooting sticks might make all the difference. Practice riding and getting off quick for a shot if you have the opportunity. The little things can make a world of difference. [/QUOTE]
