    First timer (for Elk) here - looks like I landed 580 Res Elk.

    Now to finish out my shopping list, starting with a new frame pack. My old one from boy scouts won't cut it. My wife isn't going to like how much I spend on this hunt... gotta spread it out over the next few months!

    You don't have to buy top of the line, but the old saying holds true with hunting gear..... Buy once, cry once. Nothing will ruin a hunt faster than a cheap pair of boots, or wet clothes, or a pack that wasn't made to do what is asked of it.

    I hear you, and have certainly started to learn to live by that saying the last 4-5 years after buying cheap quality products a couple times and regretting it. If product quality and price were a sliding scale (0-100), I'd say I've shifted from 65ish up to 85ish. So, not top of the line, but very respectable quality in anything I buy/build now. I have great boots, clothes, knives, rifles, camping gear, etc. but need to get a big-game pack and binoculars, at the very least.

    I drew a buck tag for Fort Carson, anyone hunt deer there before? I hunted elk at Pinyon Canyon two years ago.

    My son got his first Elk tag; should be a fun hunt. I didn't draw anything so I am watching this year.
