I Bought some more Speer Boatails. That should qualify as a major money spending purchase in today's supply and demand.

Just picked up 2 Marmot sleeping bags, 40degree, synthetic fill, already have 2-0degree bags, too warm if you ask me, and heavy! Love how light those down bags are, but they say moisture and down don't go together, oh well.

Might pick up a tent...

Picked up a 2GB xD memory card for the digital camera.

New GPS a few months ago, came with a 1GB card, considering upgrading that to 16GB or something, as those maps take up quite a bit of space on that 1GB already.

What else? I have a list...

I thought my $49 hunting license was a big spend. Staying in the cabin at Westcliffe.

I bought a couple cow calls, new danner boots, a drop away arrow rest, and some safety items.

A Cabela's Alaskan cot, pad, pockets, and rack. I set it up in the living room last night. It is going to be a good sleeping rig. I think I've got everything else I need, except that walnut panel for mounting my 8-point 450" bull!!! Just joking. I'll be happy with a cow if that is my fate. I'm not hunting for antlers.

New pare of boots also. I leave an the 2nd in 7 days I will be in my happy place .


Good luck to all and take pics and share !!

My non resident montana hunting tag is by far the biggest purchase for this season.

As of right now $550.00 for nonresident either sex elk tag is biggest expense. Considering a MT cow elk decoy- not sure about packing it around several days in the mountains though. Second biggest cost will be gas from Missouri to SW CO, expecting arount $500.00. I do need to get a lightweight sleeping bag to cary in pack. Any suggestions on sleeping bags anyone?
