Hey guys, long time Midwestern hunter looking to do my first western hunting trip this fall. I have been doing a lot of research but I thought I would get some more opinions on gear since this forum has been super helpful already. I am pretty much building my inventory from scratch and I am kind of on a budget due to spending too much money on hunting as it is (so my wife says). I am looking for what you guys think are essential pieces of gear that you can't live without? Are there any areas you can go cheap and any items that you NEED to spend more money on? To be more specific I am looking at a car camping set up for rifle mule deer in October/November. I am looking at everything from packs and optics to boots, trekking poles, tripods, and tons of other things. I do have a lot of gear for Midwestern hunting so if you have any examples of common whitetail equipment that would be helpful that would be great to know as well. I just want to give myself the best chance to be successful and not get divorced in the process. Thanks in advance guys.
