Archery Hunters:
bring the gear above and substitute camouflage clothing in grey
or brown colors for the appropriate clothing above,
along with the following:

  camo paint or head net
  hard case for bow
- for travel - will not be packed into camp
  bow scabbard (for horseback riding)
  tackle box with:
    extra bow string
    compond bow stringer
    pliers
    extra peep sight
    extra release
    broadheads

we recommend you bring:
  judo points for camp practice
  12-18 arrows per hunter
  only
broadheads and shafts suitable for elk - extra shafts can be
  carried in a capped PVC pipe

    In addition, bring personal items such as toothbrush, towel, handkerchiefs, camera, prescription and over the counter medicine you use, etc. Pack your gear in Army type duffle bags, and try to keep the total weight of the gear to 45 pounds, excluding your rifle or bow and sleeping bag. Two smaller duffle bags are easier for us to pack on the mules, then one huge one. We provide rifle scabbards and saddle bags. You may bring your own if you prefer. We will have a few bow scabbards, but archery hunters should plan on bringing their own, or some other type of carrying device, for the travel on horseback.

    Lion Hunts: Because of the nature of the hunt, layering your clothing is essential. Sub zero temperatures in this area are common during the lion hunting season. Be sure to bring a day pack capable of holding your extra clothing. You may be layering up or down several time a day while on the trail. Good quality warm clothing and footgear, are essential. If you already have your own snowshoes you may bring them. Knee high, waterproof gaiters will keep your boots and trousers dry.
