Do you have trends on temps in the area and time your hunt is?

what's your opinion on down vs synthetic?
You plan on being wet? Do you put more value on the keeping the base weight of your pack down?

I would make a decision on the comfort rating of how cold you it's suppose to be, or could be.

Then see what brands offer something for that temp rating, in whatever your down or synthetic preference is.

Edit: make sure the sleeping bag company is giving comfort and not survival temp rating.
Also imo a sleeping bag is only as good as the sleeping system it's paired with. Paired with clothing, a tent, and a good insulated sleeping pad, you could be good to go down to -15 with a 0 degree bag. That's what I do.

I've spent over 100 nights in Alaska in the Stone Glacier
I'm waiting for the restock of the Peax to order one



This is the pad

In 05 I hunted Dall Sheep south side of Brooks.
Bought a Cabalas -15 synthetic (it might have kept me alive at that temp)
REI 3/4 length pad,but I was lucky the coldest it got was 25F.(no rain)
I would look at what Barny's Sports offer!
They know what they are doing!
