[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 1177029, member: 46742"] Make sure you pack some light weight rain gear in your pack and a warm coat or sweater. We also hunted the first rifle season and the weather varied from mid 50 to freezing. We also horse backed in while it was raining off and on and the second day of hunting it was blizzard conditions off and on. (This is where I got a reality check of long distance shooting in the mountains. I could actually see snow blowing in all different directions as the terrain changed or stayed flat.) We were in area 66 hunting between 10,000 and 13000 feet. Weather can change quick at that altitude so be prepared. As scott63 said, get some top quality wool socks. Don't have anything cotton. And one other thing on ordering boots. I used to get deals at Sierra Trading Post but, be careful of discontinued stock. I had a pair of brand new boots just discontinued and on sale that the sole and glue fell apart on me during a 3 day backpack trip. Fortunately I had plenty of nylon string and some duct tape to make it out. Better to spend a little extra and be secure that the material is new and will hold up. [/QUOTE]
