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.
