[QUOTE="jepp2, post: 2298613, member: 50762"] I live in CO and have elk hunted many years. A couple of items I wouldn't go on the hunt without: - I wear a lanyard around my neck. On the lanyard is a whistle and a liquid filled compass I know how to use - Topo maps for the area I'm going to hunt, that have been coated to waterproof them (or alternative). And yes, I have my GPS with the maps loaded on it. But I don't want to have to count on it working 100%, stuff happens. Weather can set in pretty quickly, and all your references can be lost. With my compass I never have to worry about getting to where I want to go. I know you have a guide, but you never know what he needs to do with a 2 on 1 hunt, to best maximize both of your chances of success. I also always hunt with eye protection on. Mainly for when I fire my rifle, but also to keep from getting your eye whipped by a spruce limb when you are riding on horseback in the dark. I wear amber early and late, tint during the day.
