Quality rubber boots. A good rain suit. A GPS. A good knife. A bottle of wind checking powder ( its actually unscented talcum powder sold in the archery section usually). I like to use a small daypack to haul my gear when out for the entire day. If you have electricity in camp then a Peets boot dryer is great. Never forget azzwipe. The day you forget it you will need it. We also all carry rubber gloves for gutting and butchering.
as it is unchartered terrioty for me .....I am hoping the basic bushnell back track will serve me well in the case I get turned around. I dont have a big fancy gps of any sort........so i will be relying on the back track, compass, and marking tape which hopfully I dont need any of them unless tracking a downed moose.
Don't forget the cheesecloth socks.Quote:

Being on a watch for hours on end, you want to ensure you're going to be comfortable. Not to mention warm.
Good luck. And don't shoot a 1 1/2 year old!
Oh, and those throw away plastic gloves for gut'n. If you want to know why. just ask. lol.
A very sharp knife, and a sharpener. Moose (even a calf) are a lot tougher than a deer.
Lots of rope, if you have to wade/pull one across a swamp you will appreciate this. Means of hanging/come along.lots of flag tape, if someone wings one and you start tracking too soon and end up 6 hours from home all on foot you will need lots of tape. Good luck!
