[QUOTE="jensenj71, post: 2765285, member: 96797"] I will 2nd that, hiking and getting sweat soaked and then having a change of clothes for glassing 1-3hrs is very helpful. If you get cold you will want to keep movingwhen you shouldbe glassing. I like to be warm enough that a nap is possible between rounds of glassing. I typically hang my merino base layer to dry while glassing and put on my backup base layer and puffy jacket. I always carry trekking poles and I always have some gorilla duct tape wrapped around the poles ready to bandage up any hot spots before they blister. The up and down as well as side hilling will make hot spots. Trekking poles can be a lifesaver if you end up with a loaded pack on the steep hills. They also make a real handy shooting rest with a rubber strap when you need something taller than the sage brush to squeeze off a 200yd shot from a knee. The best muley technique I have in early season is to look for the highest elevation feeding areas that may still some water and some grass. Get to a good vantage point before it gets light and setup to glass. The muley bucks often run in bachelor groups at the highestelevations until fall rut or weather pushes them down. Same procedure in the evening, get to a vantage point 2hrs before dark and setup to glass. [/QUOTE]
