    Am I the only one who doesn’t use any gloves when I am gutting an animal out lol.

    I use them for field dressing and sometimes take the shoulder length ones, not a lot of water to cleanup with in most places I hunt so it just makes it easier. Same at home butchering, its easy to take off a pair and have clean hands for whatever.

    New to backcountry hunting

    I learned about leukotape a couple years ago and it is so much better then mole skin, duck tape or any other blister bs!! Boots that fit are even better the leukotape. As said good socks are a must also.

    Backcountry hunt pack weight

    Mine is usually 50-60 lbs. one thing I do (area dependent) is pack very little water fill up on the way for what I need to drink and at the last water source I fill up a couple gallons for the last mile, it sucks on tired legs but saves me a return trip right away

    Backpacking Solo 2023

    I love going solo in the backcountry! Will probably only get one trip in this season to the high country for mule deer and only 3-4 nights due to other commitments, elk may end up being a pack in hunt but only a few miles from the truck.

    Stupid poll: Which rifle?

    I voted .300 but either will do, I am actually debating between the same rifles for this years elk hunt! I’m going with 300 as it’s a branched antler bull hunt. I would take the 6.5 for spikes or cows if a regular season.
