[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1545100, member: 6330"] What I learned from Elk hunting in Montana, beside that it rained every day we were there is that proper boot fit is paramount. Test your boots walking down an incline. Make sure your toes do not hit the front of your boots. Several people in camp suffered from this problem. their toes looked like someone hit them with a hammer. It really limited their mobility. As stated above, merino wool is great and well worth the cost. Wear a base layer that you can swap out when you get where you'll be glassing after a long walk. Sheffe's comment about swapping out long-johns was deja vu. (he must have seen me!!!) Also make sure your pack fits and has a chest strap, and you can carry your rifle comfortable with your pack. mine didn't and I was tugging on straps and the sling the whole time I was walking. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
