Elk Hunting Gear List for Women: Boots, Packs, Kill Kits & Backcountry Essentials

**The Gear We Actually Carry (And What We Left Behind)** **Welcome to the very first episode of Tag Her Out 🏹🎒** **Hosts Morgan and Kaitlyn kick off Season 1 with a real look at what's actually in their packs ahead of elk season, and why their systems couldn't be more different.
