Yep I figured a few strong trash bags and maybe a drop cloth will be essential in the pack. My Amazon wish list looks...expensive ha.
I think what we are going to do is 2 of us go but only one of us buy an elk tag, and the other buy a deer tag. We'll take one rifle, and one sidearm. For the trek in, one person carry the rifle/ammo, the other has the tent and sidearm. Leaves us with equal space/weight remaining for carrying things each person will need, food, sleeping bag, etc. We'll be preparing for the weather the week before we leave to go out. I'm hoping 2nd rifle season will be somewhat mild. Highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's would be nice...but probably won't happen ha.
We are going to do our best to get there for opening morning, but still not sure if we'll both be able to miss that much work. Worst case we'll be hunting by the afternoon of the 2nd day, and be able to stay through the end. We are both just excited about camping, and elk or deer would be gravy.
