Montana Rifle Elk Hunting - Basic gear for a day hunt 

That pretty much covers what I’ve carried for years. Knife selection being slightly different for personal preference. The only big add is some form of nutrient rich bar. Kind or similar to cover that sudden crash in energy on a long stalk or pack out. Great stuff Randy, thank you for sharing your experiences and hunts.

Randy, the electricians tape that you carry can also be used as a make shift band aid along with the other ways you described.

This was exactly what I was looking for

Nice, informative!

Great video. I really like that pack.

Hi Randy - thanks for the videos. Curious to know if those are MR side pockets on your pack belt or custom? Thanks!

Thank you for the videos on what you use on your hunts. Is the Montana elk hunt on RU-vid or did I miss it? Thank you

I'd like to know more about the rifle carry sling/setup on your pack. Is it capable to switch for a lefty? Is it something a guy can customize or adapt to fit existing gear? I didn't get a good look at it in this video but was intrigued since I can't carry anything on my shoulders without it slipping off. Thankfully I've got a good scope. Carried that rifle in one hand or the other for 35 years. Would like to do something different in the remaining ones....thanks.

What size is the Metcalf?

Randy, what trekking poles are you using? do you think they will support a 250lb guy with a loaded pack?

Randy just curios , you ever use any kind or sled to pack animals out of a difficult spot and have you ever used rope an pulleys to manipulate a deer or Elk out of a bad spot so you could start the field dressing and breaking down processes . BTW I love your angle on hunting. common scene stuff. I appreciate it we don't see it enough out there.

Where do you pack your spotting scope and tripod?

for a late October rifle bull hunt, what calls do you use?

Looks just like what I carry, except I carry extra batteries for my GPS and flashlights. I also carry multiple compact led flashlights, jerky, wasabi almonds, m&m's (ha ha), folding meat saw, extra ammo, etc.

I'm getting new gear

do you take an elk decoy with you?
