[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1367048, member: 14204"] Excellent write up and congrats! I always enjoy reading personal experiences like yours. I am probably the wrong person to give advice on keeping warm as my hunting buddies calls me "Eskimo Ed". :cool: To me it's all about proper layering, you do not want to sweat when it is cold. When I am on a hike to the hunting grounds, I normally have the lightest layer I can tolerate and have plenty of layers to add as required especially when I am sitting/no longer on the move. Your body will naturally tell you when you need peel or add a layer. Elk is not an easy game to hunt. If it was that easy everybody would be doing it and with great success. The elk country/Montana wilderness is not very forgiving and does not discriminate. It is often overlooked or underestimated but physical conditioning and knowing your limitations in elk hunting should be a consideration. Depending on snow conditions you might consider snow shoes instead of crampon or Yak Trak. Cheers! Ed [/QUOTE]
