[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 267872, member: 843"] Seems like you have most covered. Gun bearer would be a good addition. hard plastic bottle and holder on the pack belt comes in handy. Doesn't require you to remove pack to drink and the hard plastic (nalgene) is a lot quieter than the crinkly disposable bottles. Water bladders can be great, but you might be pushing line freeze up in November in Montana. Im not familiar with the area but it seems like most private tracts in Montana have ranch roads all over their land, connecting the dots from one water tank to the next. How far do you plan to venture from the pickup? Just be realistic on what is needed for supplies. Keeping the pack as light as possible will make things more enjoyable. On day hunts where the risk of being lost or stuck out in the wildness is low don't pack around 3 days of water or food and keep the first aid kit simple and light. Will you always be with others? That reduces the risks one can encounter a bit more. Now if its a solo hunt and you are planning to get 4-7 miles from pickup or trailhead, you probably should haul around a bit more emergency supplies and extra water and food. [/QUOTE]
