High Cascades Hunt

[frogman]

anyone have good recommendations on good hunting clothing for the high hunt?  I did it a couple of years ago and this was the issue.  If it rained, no matter what eventually you got wet.  If you used good rain gear, you sweated so bad it did not matter, because you were dripping wet with sweat.  we hiked in on the 14th and it rained for 6 hrs.  entire time, by the time we got up to our camp , almost hypothermic.  spent the entire following day drying clothes over a small fire.

   To Frogman:    As far as rain gear goes, do you use something cheap? Rain gear is not any good, USUALLY, if you paid under $300 for your set( pants and jacket). I would suggest something with pit-zips, they really help. Also, long alpine style pockets, so you can unzip them every minute it is not absolutely pouring. Another thing is to wear a good baselayer, because it will help to wick sweat off your body. Personally,  I would get Sitka rain gear, if I were you, but I understand the expense, some people don't want to pay quite that much. Still, in the Olympics and Cascades good rain gear is helpful. ( I live in drier places now and don't have to deal with rain gear anymore, YAY!!!)

Marmot Precip is awesome rain gear for the $$.

thanks guys!  I will do some research on both.  I use REI polyester for my base layer generally.  I failed to mention how much fun the trip was!  great time being up in the high country, what a beautiful area.

It should be 100% the responsibilty of WDFW to be able to provide accurate maps from their office of any unit with all boundaries! If you want sportsman to follow laws and provide regs and season you need to provide accurate materials

Why is it there responsibility it is in the back of the regs every year under boundary descriptions. if you take a pen and a ruler you can easily mark out every unit on a map its just really time consuming
(Just realised that we are talking wilderness boundary's which aren't in there. I have found the nat geo maps best for those)
