[QUOTE="Elkeater, post: 1669833, member: 103670"] Never hunted OK but for elk hunting you need several key items. Good boots! Sounds like you got this covered. Layers. Kuiu, Sitka, Cabela’s/basspro, first lite, etc. all offer good layering systems. Chances are you will be both on the move and sitting for hours in the same day. Good binos. 10x40s work for me and I like my 15x50 vipers on a tripod. Good pack Good pack. Needs to be comfortable and capable of carrying 50-100 lbs. I’d suggest alps outdoorz, kuiu, mystery ranch, badlands. And that .270 will work just fine. Just use a good heavy (accubond, Barnes, Hammer, a frame etc.) 140gr+ bullet. Then learn the gutless method. In rough terrain you are not going to like trying to drag even a cow elk more than 50’. Just skin it and break it down and haul it out in pieces. I use a havalon knife these days. Congrats on drawing a fun hunt!!! [/QUOTE]
