I have been guiding elk hunts in the scapegoat wilderness for about 15 years and started guiding elk hunts in the crazy mountains 5 years ago. The wilderness hunts are 14 to 20 miles in on horseback, depending on which camp we go to. This area is steep country with burn areas and thick green timber. Gear quality and selection are important to me in these areas because I depend on what I can carry on my back. Below you will find a list of what I use and recommend.

I am a fan of the Badlands gear because of their warranty and the durability of their products.
