[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2237882, member: 91783"] The altitude is in the 5000 foot range the o2 level will normally be in the 19-21 percent range that time of the year . Normally that time of the year you will have very brisk mornings with temps getting mid 60's to mid 70's during the day but snow isn't out of the question either . There is a lot of sage brush and cactus so keep an eye out for that and don't set in it , a good pair of tweezers is handy to have you can use a not overly sharp knife to scrape the spines out as well the same as you would metal burs . Practice using shooting sticks or tall by-pods as the shooting a lot of times is from the setting position due to the sagebrush and other ground clutter . Keep in mind that there are rattle snakes here as well so if you set beside of a sage brush check it out first but they should be denned up by then unless you get by their den then they will be out on warm days close to the den . Visit with your guide and take advice from them on what to bring with you don't be shy ask questions from a list that you can start writing now so you can remember what it is you want to know when you are talking with them as we all get excited and forget what to ask . At a minim a hunter orange hat is required and I use faded brown duck clothing instead of any other camo with an orange vest over the top . The ground and grass is brown , tan and a faded yellow here that time of the year . The sage brush is gray with a slight greenish gray cast to it .
