A good set of raingear and / or hunter orange outer wear is a necessity.
FOR LARGE GAME:
Moose, Elk, Caribou, Bear And Etc.
Perhaps the most important consideration when hunting large game is the animal's size. For instance - An adult moose can weigh from 600 to 1400 pounds, and once down, it will not be easily moved. A high quality pack frame will be useful for transporting your personal gear, and is a must for packing a bear hide. A hide may weigh over 100 lbs., and the skull will add 25 lbs. Please refer to our Field Care for perserving your trophy.
The appropriate equipment will make this part of a successful hunt much easier. Along with whatever personal hunting, fishing or camping equipment you bring, you should also take the items listed below on your big game hunt.
Rifle which is either 30-06 or larger that will shoot at least a 180 grain bullit
Sharp, six-inch hunting knife
Sharpening stone and / or sharping device
Properly sharpened hatchet, or ax
100 feet of strong 1/4-inch nylon rope
Several pieces of paper towels or wiping cloth
Bone saw
Cheesecloth or meat bags
A ground cloth
Heavy duty Grambel and Pulley Hoist
Pack board(s) or metal framed backpack(s)
Topographic Maps

Waxed "fish boxes" for shipping meat
Packing tape
A leak-proof container for shipping the hide and skull
10 lbs fine ground non iodized salt (Refer to Field Care for salting hides)
A supply of black pepper (liberal application of pepper will help to discourage flies)
From the list above, other than your weapon, a knife may be all that needs to be carried into the field if you will be hunting close to camp or your vehicle. Otherwise, you will need to pack your gear along.
