[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 1409794, member: 54963"] I hunt in WY during the second half of October at about 8500-9000 ft. Temps can be super cold (low teens and howling wind) or comfortable (50 degrees). When I'm moving, I usually wear First Lite merino base layer, Kanab or Attack Pants, and maybe a microfleece pullover like the First Lite Halstead, and that's all. Maybe I will have my First Lite merino Springer vest on too. I will have a down vest and my Guide Jacket in my pack for when I am sitting / glassing. I will also have rain gear in my pack. This also helps if the wind is bad. If you've never hunted out west, you will be surprised how comfortable you will be with minimal clothing, as long as it's the right clothing, you are moving, and it is not raining. Regular wool will have you ringing wet with sweat in no time and it is heavy. No cotton, it holds moisture and wet can be dangerous. If your gonna be bivy hunting in late October, you better have the proper sleeping / camp gear. It can snow over a foot in a day at higher elevations during late October. [/QUOTE]
