    Tent recommendation

    Eureka Solitaire is the perfect setup for a September solo elk hunt. More than a simple bivouac "tent". Very light weight. Three season dependability. Very inexpensive.

    Base layer questions

    For warmer weather - between 60 and 80 degrees for daytime highs - I wear a lighter weight wool/synthetic blend long underwear top and bottom. Either the Uni Qlo brand or Army/Navy surplus type. Grey, beige, or black are my preferred colors.

    First sheep hunt in two weeks, what to expect and pack? Advice appreciated!

    Heading out first thing tomorrow morning on a 76-day hunt (sheep, grizzly, moose and goat). Can't wait to get into the mountains again and to get away from all these trappings of civilization.

    Camp Distance?

    I generally camp "right with the elk", so to speak, and within 400 to 800 yards of my glassing promontory. More often than not, my camps are in a saddle on a high ridge. I'm in stealth mode when in that situation, though; no loud noises (no loud talking, no boisterous laughing, no clanking...

    New to the mule deer world

    Since you're interested in building points over at least a decade or two or three (30 years) and meanwhile, hunting so-called "meat deer" until at which time you MIGHT draw a tag, I'd look at California, Washington State, Colorado, Texas and Wyoming for the "meat deer" and and apply for permits...

    New to the mule deer world

    Yep, when the word "hunting zone" comes up in a conversation about the western states, pretty much have to figure that it IS NOT a sincere inquiry.
