I am a southeast white tail hunter thats looking to go back west. I want to do a back-country archery elk or rifle mule deer hunt. Depends on what tags I draw. Fall back plan is Colorado OTC archery. I dont have a mountain of money. I have a great bow and rifle so dont need weapons. I feel like I know what small gear I am going to purchase. My problem is what big purchase gear is worth it. I have good Lowa boots so that is covered. I need a good Tent (should I go 4 season?), sleeping bag, and pack. As you can see that can cause a high bill. I may be able to throw 500 at this gear. I have an old military allice external frame pack. With this do me for this season so I can put my money into other stuff? Has anyone actually packed out an elk with this pack?
