[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 973936, member: 75895"] I hunt about the same time of year in wyoming and I am limited to 40 lbs also. I take in three pair of clothing. Shirts, pants, underwear, outer wear all of some type of synthetic blend. Merino wool for long under wear and wool blend socks. In additipon, I use Goretex rain gear which can also be used as a outer layer when the wind kicks up with the cold. The most important item to mention is good boots. They don't have to be insulated, but a little insulation may be needed if you are sitting for awhile when temps are down. I would recommend spending the money and purchase high end boots like Kenetrek, Lowa and etc.. As far as sleeping bags, get one that is rated to 0 degrees. You can get by with a +15 if the tent is kept heated throughout the night. My preference is a rectangular style and not a mummy. I just like the extra room. REI is a good place to look for one and you can usually lay in it at the store to try it out. Your choice of rifle will work, but would not be my first choice as mentioned by MMERSS. If you are going to put out that much time and money, then I would want something that will reach out a little further so I could capatilize on any opportunities. Not sure if I provided enough info, but you can PM me with your number and I will be more than happy to discuss further. [/QUOTE]
