She'll need more than a 20 degree bag for a mid Sept hunt in Wyoming. Good rain gear is a must.
A good dry camp will go a long way in comfort.
Not sure about Btaylor's comment though. Yes she should carry her own day gear but be prepared to carry a few extra necessities just in case, she doesn't have the experience in the elk mountains with what may be needed for a day hunt in case of emergency.
If you mean buying and owning her own gear, I agree completely Btaylor.
Just have a talk about hunting style and what you expect from her while in the field. We walk one behind the other and I try to time my steps to mimic the sounds a 4 legged animal would make while walking, trying to sound like one animal not 2 people.
The extra hands available to help with quartering and packing out will be very helpful.
We've been hunting together for 32 years, yes disagreements happen, but many good times have been had. We each try to get in a few days of hunting in our own style and a few days of hunting together where we compromise.
