Its hard not to get sucked into buying lastest and greatest hunting equipment.
Skip the new rifle, and tell us what kind of binoculars you have? I'd recommend getting the best glass you can afford. Much easier to look for elk several hours a day through them if you don't get eye strain.
Find a good premium bullet that will shot well in your rifle. I prefer Barnes TSX, but there are lots of choices these days.
Boots: they can make or break an elk hunt fast. Get some and try them out. Make sure you carry a load with them. Load your backpack up with some weighs or sand, and try the boots out on a little hike.
