I know I am 8 months out, but this is a big trip for me and I like to plan so I wanted to get your guys feedback on my anticipated gear list. The list below is the general list the outfitter sent me and next to it is the specific I item I plan on taking. There are a few items I am not decided on yet and would love suggestions for those items particularly.
Also, and maybe more importantly, the hunt has changed a bit, at the last second before mailing my deposit, I decided to go with another outfit - Gunson Outfitting, which is on the far Northern BC/Yukon border. This is more of a true "trophy" hunt with better chance at a 50+" moose. It is also a Horseback Hunt that will put me in the remote wilderness for 10 days.
