Montana Hunting - Suggested Gear
We have strict Forest Service limits on the number of stock we can take on each trip. Because of this we must limit each hunter to 70 lbs. of gear, it will be weighed and if necessary you will have to weed out excess gear if you exceed the limit. This does not count your rifle.
If you carry a day pack in or out they will need to be under 10 lbs. We furnish scabbards and saddle bags. Please use them and do not bring your own.
It is suggested you send the day packs in the loads rather than carry it on your back for the ride in to and out of camp. Of course on hunting days you will want it but it must remain under 10 lbs. Our horses already work very hard and we will not allow any unnecessary weight added to you.
For those of you on the White River hunting trip your rifle will be packed in and out. It will not be with you on the saddle. The White River trip is a long way in and most of the ride goes through areas in which you may not hunt.
