In short it was great Outfitter, great Game, great Food, great Time!I packed leaning towards heavier weight clothing, but didn't pack enough light weight clothing. Temperatures swung from high 70's down to below freezing with wind chill. I shipped my bow down and back via FEDEX which saved me $120.00 from taking it on the plane (Continental Airlines would have charged $100 each way). I should have taken one of the bow "holsters" that allows you to rest your bow on your thigh while spotting and stalking.
