A piece of gear you dont need or havent owned

[cnelk]

Strickly based on your elk hunting style, what is a piece of gear you have found out you really dont need to own?

For me - its a spotting scope. Ive never owned one, dont need one.

First thought when I saw the title was spotting scope.

 

[wapitibob]

Yep, spotter

 

[HOT ROD]

Spotter for sure....

 

[Stalker69]

Butt out tool.

I don’t use it all during the regular season (archery), but it has come in handy for some late season archery hunts. I just will not pack it up the mountain. Purely a scouting tool.

As much as I hate to admit/agree....

I bought myself a 300 win mag thinking i needed a bit more than my 7mm mag. Its a safe queen. The 7mm mag will get re barrelled before it sees retirement

Unfortunately it’s been about three years since I’ve needed game bags....
Seriously though, I don’t use a spotter. Never use a rain coat (pants yes).

Yup, spotting scope.

I need everything I have, or I wouldn't have it. Only time I might carry a spotter might be while scouting treeline from the road.

Another vote for spotter.

Man a spotter is my most valuable tool when it comes to finding elk, particularly during rifle season. I only pack it to master vantage points or use from my truck but that's my first step before leaving the truck with full kit

I'm ready to start a fight. Lol. walking sticks (trek poles.) Maybe crossing a wide rivers or hauling out meat. But the rest of the time just more crap to haul around.

Agreed. I really feel like mine has helped me to be more successful. I have to find them before I can kill them. I may not pack mine always but I’ll never be without it in my arsenal.

Met a guy in Idaho this year (said he was newbergs cousins) and he was showing me how he archery hunts elk. I’ve never considered a spotter until he showed me the photos of all the bulls that they spotted and snuck up on.
