OK, here is the background.
I live in Utah and will most likely not draw out on GS Dear or LE Elk, so I will be hunting on my own adventure style OTC bull elk tag in the Unitas. I have some hunting gear already, but really wanting to prioritize my next purchases.
Here is what I have:
Ruger American in 308 topped with a nikon 3X9 (entry level price point scope)
Full set of Kings Camo XKG gear.
A good day pack (tenzing)
Havalon knife
$50 bunshnell binos
Columbia $80 boots
I have all camping supplies that I need for now
A reliable truck (nothing fancy but gets me where I need to go)
What I don't have:
Quality game bags
A pack to haul meat out
bipods or shooting sticks (I know some guys love them and some don't)
a GPS or onXhunnting map
Rang finder
High end cooler
spotting scope
Should I upgrade some of what I have already (binos, scope, etc??) Or should I finish buy a "minimum" set of equipment before I worry about upgrading what I have?
love you hear your thoughts!
