[QUOTE="cohunter14, post: 1087543, member: 55580"] I hate to come across as negative about this, but unless you get perfect weather and a great forecast, you are crazy to do this during second rifle. There is always a good possibility of a decent amount of snow, but the biggest thing is that it gets COLD in the evenings. I use a 0 degree bag and that's in a heated wall tent. Regardless of that, the things that jump out at me right away is that you don't have gloves or hats on your list. You will need a stocking cap to sleep in at a minimum, and most likely you will need a stocking cap for the morning and evening hunts. You will want a couple pairs of gloves in case you get a pair wet, sweaty, etc. I can also tell you that you won't need rain gear...you will need snow gear. It might rain for a couple minutes, but if it does, that means snow is coming. No matter what, just be smart about it. The weather can change in an instant up there, especially in October. It can be 60 degrees one minute and the next you are in a blizzard that will dump 16" of snow. Just my two cents... [/QUOTE]
