What is supplied for you and how long is your hunt? 50lbs is too light if you are to be supplying your own tent, stove, axe, food...ect. Also, are they retreiving your game or do you have to get it to camp yourself? As far as clothing be ready for extreme weather and leave anything cotton home. Schnee's with air bobs are the best boots I and several other guides I know have used for wet and cold. Generally Outfitters will supply you with a list of what you should pack if they are reputable. flyingbranch.com used to have a suggested list of what they required hunters to have for 10 day hunts that seemed to cover the bases well on their web site. ..........update, I just checked the Flying B site and go to elk hunts and print the printable brochure.......the man who put that list together is about as good as it gets!
