Is there equipment that works for both the delta and the mountain hunts?

Do you run different gear for delta vs mountain hunts? Or is there equipment that works for both?

A good pair of lightweight, breathable boots like the Salomon X Ultra works for both delta mud and mountain rocks, they grip well without weighing you down. Add a versatile jacket with zip vents for changing conditions in either spot.

Your scope choice matters too, something like a 3-9x40 variable that handles close delta shots and longer mountain ranges.

I use the same setup for both and it saves space in the truck.

That's something I didn't think about.

Are they cheap?

Are they cheap?

They're not the cheapest, but worth it. Usually $140-$160 depending on the model and sales. I've beat mine up through mud and rock and they still hold up. Might cost more up front, but cheaper than replacing two pairs that don't last.

If you're looking to simplify your gear, I'd say start with the essentials and then customize based on the kind of terrain you'll be tackling. It's all about figuring out what you really need and building from there.
