Name: Brady Miller Species: Mule DeerSeason: Mid NovemberYear: 2013Average Temperature: 10-30°Expected Weather: 5-30° and snowWeapon: ArcheryLocation: MontanaDuration: Seven Days
Hunting in November can be brutal. With that being said, I lean towards the side of caution when hunting this time of year. Temperatures were colder than average during 2013, so I had to add a few more layers to stay warm. This is not my ultralight gear list that I would take on a hunt in August.
What I would have done differently: My gear performed flawlessly, but I feel like I could have packed a few more handwarmers and a thicker face mask for this hunt. A few mornings the temperatures dropped into the single digits. Hand warmers are a great addition in a sleeping bag when the temperatures drop. You might notice that I was still only using a 30 degree bag, but I sleep in my clothes and use my down layers as added insulation at night. It would be nice to lighten the load for this hunt, but late season survival comes first. My September gear list is a lot lighter and makes for a easier pack weight to manage.
