[QUOTE="ShawnS, post: 895095, member: 38867"] I have spent the past 6 years hunting SW Montana. Spent a lot of time horseback and on foot. We border national forest and hunt mostly from the house now, our average morning hunt will take us 6-10 miles round trip on foot. We are still learning the area and have been very successful so far. Our terrain is primarily steep and mountainous, I good pair of broken-in boots is a must have. I currently use Kenetrek's, I am very happy with their performance. I use a Leupold 12x50 pair of glasses that have served me very well, definitely buy the best pair you can afford. I have been looking at vortex for my next set. My father-in-law just purchased swarovski and they are amazing. I would also recommend keeping your rifle as light as you can while maintaining a steady platform for extended range shots. My hunting distance ranges from up close to 800 yds, so my current gun is set up for both opportunities. I think your gunrunner pack will be perfect for your needs, I will be purchasing one for next year. Every outfitter and guide will have different expectations for their guests. I would prepare for a demanding hunt so you will be up for anything. Its sounds like you are off to a great start. [/QUOTE]
