    Ammo for the gun range. Practice makes perfect.
    Gasoline for the truck to get out there. Honestly shooting is undervalued by a lot of hunters, practice as much as you can and not just off the bench.

    Dont hunt moose without a pack frame. You can but the bare frame and keep it in the truck, use your mec for the first load out then switch over.
    If I have $1000 to spend on hunting it always will go towards a trip, it means i dont have the greatest gear but it gets well used!

    Do NOT replace your jacket, bright blue works just fine...

    I've killed many animals without fancy camo.

    I agree with this, you have good rain gear, keep it. put the money toward range finder, jet boil, head lamp, eventually better spotter! Youre on the right track and you have most of the basics to keep you out in the bush...my 2 cents

    Thanks for all the advice everyone, it's great hearing people's experience.

    Time in the woods is definitely my favourite thing to do, and I'm hoping to spend more time out exploring this year than the last couple years. I just wish I had more free time to make use of.

    Nice premium binoculars would be fantastic, but man are good optics expensive. I've had the chance to look through some nice scopes and binoculars, the difference is amazing, and I'm going to do it at some point, but man does it hurt right in the wallet.
