I'm also a big fan of 1/4 zip tops to help regulate my temp.

Lightweight Merino short sleeve t-shirt.
Mid weight Merino 3/4zip long sleeve sweater.
A green wool button down shirt. Mil surplus, it is more of a light jacket. About $10 if you can find them these days. I have two and one for each family member, get them if you can!
With the above, I can hunt in almost anything. I can hunt in the t-shirt and sweater if walking and the temp is above 20 degrees or so.
On top up everything above I will put on a heavy wool coat. This is only if I am stationary and it is cold or if I have to spend the night for some reason.
Last, A light weight packable rain jacket.

For most of the year I'd say lightweight, especially if you are moving. Medium weight tends to get to hot once you start hiking unless it's the dead of winter.
:yeah: Depending on the type of hunting you do. Always use multiple layers depending on conditions. Remember to stay hydrated too.

If it were me I would get a light and mid weight long sleeve top and lightweight bottom. But my legs don't get cold easy and overheat quick. Combined with my other gear I would have little need for heavier bottoms. Same for expedition weight. I would be more likely to add a short sleeve and wear all three layers which would put my core layer at a high weight and still allow for shedding. Unless your doing a lot of sitting or hunting in very cold temps.

I run this system all the time, fall and winter. The worst I have had it in was in E. Montana and it was well below zero an blowing sugar snow sideways.

Great recommendation, thanks. I think I will stick with lightweight base layer. I have a Berber fleece pullover on order that should be coming in this week. I can use that as my heavy outer coat.
