[QUOTE="DRock, post: 2237142, member: 109187"] I have been on two guided Wyoming deer hunts-- one in late September and one in early October. I can tell you without a doubt the most valuable gear I had was my rain gear. I spent the entire 5 days on the first hunt in an early snowstorm and the second hunt rained every single day. I lived in my raingear on both hunts and good gaiters also saved my boots from getting wet. I would recommend something high end and durable like the Kuiu Yukon series. If you are hunting deer in the same country as antelope you will be at lower elevations and have less risk of severe weather but good rain gear can make you very comfortable in miserable conditions. Also good optics really help because you will likely be glassing much further than you are used to tree stand hunting. I use 15x binos when I hunt pronghorn but most likely your guide will have them as well as a spotting scope. So good 10x binos will likely be enough but I'd take the best you can afford. Congrats on drawing the tags-- Wyoming is God's country so enjoy the experience. [/QUOTE]
