I hunted south of casper last october which was my first western hunt. At the end of my hunt I made a list of things I wished I had and things I was grateful I took with me. For boots I took light weight suede/cordura with goretex. (didn't need the goretex) I wished I had topgrain leather boots cuz the catus got me a couple of times. Make sure your boots are broke in. I didn't feel like carrying the weight of a bipod on my rifle so I carried steady-stix. Good bino's are an absolute must have no question. For clothes I wore non-insulated saddle cloth pants and jacket with a cabela's micro tex shirt. I really think this was the best answer for clothes I could come up with. It was below freezing in the morning and seventy degrees in the middle of the day. Both the saddle cloth and the microtex are very wind resistant which is a huge factor. Also saddle cloth is some what rain resistant. Oh and one last thing take some chap stick(Its drier than a popcorn fart)
