Utah Early To Late Season Gear List

Likes
 2

I have been hunting deer and elk for as long as I can remember and started guiding hunts when I was 16 years old. As I got older I became interested in Buffalo hunting and after a few years of learning the unit in Utah, I started guiding for Buffalo. Over the years the season dates of the bison hunt started to change later and later so I had to change gear and learn more about better and more technical gear in the industry. Over the years, hunting gear, clothing, and many other things saw a big swing to lighter more breathable gear to go farther with less or layer up and be warmer than ever.

Optics are the most important gear you need to have a successful or unsuccessful hunt. Great optics can cost a lot but it is the one area I would not scrimp. You will get what you pay for and good optics usually will not lose value very quick. The reason I use the optics I do is because of the people and quality behind the company or companies.

Again you get what you pay for, from your pack to what's in your pack quality products will usually last longer then if you go cheap. The reason I use these products is because they have been tested and proven to where I know they will last and do everything I ask of that piece of equipment.
