If you are going elk hunting with a rifle, one of the best accessories you can purchase for yourself is a ready-carry rifle sling. A ready-carry rifle sling will allow you to keep your rifle at a ready position even when you are hiking around. A ready-carry rifle sling can come in handy when you unexpectedly encounter an elk as you are hiking around and scouting. You can easily lose your elk and your shot in the time it takes to remove your rifle from your shoulder. When you use a ready-carry sling, you can save yourself precious seconds when you come across an elk.
