Some backpack hunting... #12268469 09/13/17 Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 11,273 High Country Colorado Tanner OP Campfire Outfitter OP Tanner Campfire Outfitter Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 11,273 High Country Colorado Got to do a few sheep hunts this year, pretty fantastic time as always. Two Dall's from Alaska and one of my best buddies Bighorns from here in Colorado. Quite a bit of hunting left in the year but it's been a good start. Tanner

I really don't wear much for gloves honestly. I've got a crappy little pair of ripped up Outdoor Research liner gloves that I take on most hunts, and a really light set of Cabelas fleece flip-open mittens with 150gr of Thinsulate that only get worn glassing early morning and late evening. Something that dries out quickly is what a guy wants out there, in my experience. Tanner

I backpacked solo into a new to me wilderness area and found this decent buck up around treeline after a few days of glassing and finding very few deer. Pretty fun time. Big thanks to my buddy GregW for pointing me towards this spot! Was also able to find a raghorn bull to notch my tag on and get some great meat in the freezer. Tanner
