[QUOTE="Northerner, post: 2237483, member: 29596"] My guided mule deer hunt in Wyoming consisted of lot of 'killing yourself' hiking. We'd park the horses at least an hour's climb from where we wanted to be at first light to start glassing. I thought I was in decent shape, but was not in good enough shape for 1000' vertical climbs each day at 7-8000'. The first day was over 1500' vertical after we parked the horses. I made it, but would have preferred to be in better shape. Talk to your outfitter about what a typical hunt day looks like and how much walking you will be doing. Weather is anyone's guess. Last year was warm the whole week I hunted. Bluebird days and short sleeves. Our guides had 'memories' popping up on their phones from exactly one year earlier in a foot of new snow with very cold temps. I had my packable Gore-Tex rain coat with me, but never needed it. Buying clothes now would be a very tough call not knowing what this fall will look like. I took my elk hunting boots with 400 grams Thinsulate. They were a good choice in their construction as we did lots of steep climbing and descending. I didn't need the Thinsulate last year, but 400 grams was still okay. I really like my Crispi boots.
