if you have a decent rifle spend money on real good boots that are well broke in befor the hunt,go in with a few guys buy a tent,should be able to get a good used one.get your food togeather,and stop and think about how you will get you elk out of the mountains,have good quality packs.A rifle that you can shoot well is good enough,good mountain boots,good binoculars,spoting scope,so start getting things togeather a little at a time
