IT CAN BE MUCH COOLER AND HARSHER WEATHER IN THE HIGH COUNTRY THAN LOWER ELEVATIONS! Please be prepared. Wool is warm even when wet! NO COTTON recommended!

Be prepared to head into camp between 9am & 11am the day before you hunt starts, the exact time will be determined by Dustin and/or guide 2 days prior to the hunt..
