Hi CMC:

You really left ALOT to the imagination in answering your question. Knowing your method of hunting,particular season, and GMU would make things easier.

In any event, weather will change in a hurry, I have hunted the 1st seasonwith temps below zeroand hunted the six weeks later in shorts.

I'd say forget high dollar camo altogether, unless stick-flipping. Spend some of that money on the Cabelas Alaskan -30 degree bag for $99. The guys I know that have been tagging out early for 20 years all wear 13MWZs.

I love to hear stories of guys maxing their credit cards to buy top dollar camoand then cover itup with some blaze orange.

If you could provide more detail of your hunt plan, that would be helpful.
