Rules & Guidelines
Dressing For Your Hunt
New Mexico weather can be unpredictable year round, When packing for your hunting trip
You should keep all day comfort in the field in mind and dress accordingly.
No matter what time of the year you hunt, a lightweight, breathable field pack is a necessity. Your pack should fit well so it’s comfortable without a lot of adjusting, should be small enough to carry what you need, but large enough that you don’t have to empty the contents to find what you want. If it makes your back sweat, or needs constant adjusting, it will interfere with your hunt.
Sturdy, waterproof, comfortable, previously worn lace up boots. If you are buying new boots for your hunt, purchase them months in advance making sure they are well worn and comfortable when you arrive, ill fitting, uncomfortable boots will ruin your hunt experience. Field and Stream and Outdoor Life both shared great advice for hunting boots.
Wool, or wool blend moisture wicking socks, Gortex lined boots or Gortex boot liners for cold weather. Waterproof head cover, gaiters, and gloves. Gaiters can prevent wet pant legs and prevent minor brush injuries. Head cover will shield you from the sun, rain and aid warmth if necessary.
A lightweight pair of gloves will keep your hands warm when glassing and ensure they aren’t too cold to take a shot, Goretex gloves will keep your hands warm during colder weather hunts.
Merino Wool is naturally moisture wicking and will help eliminate some body odor. Consider a base layer of socks, boxer briefs, and top and bottom long underwear in Marino wool, followed by varying weight Marino wool layers you can add or removed during the day depending on weather conditions. Outer layers should be both waterproof and lightweight. A lightweight down vest weighs nothing and takes up little space in your field pack. A waterproof softshell jacket that can be added over the top of all of your layers, it should be large enough to accommodate several base layers including your down vest, too small and it could prevent the perfect shot. A warm/heavy down jacket is recommended if you’re hunting late in the year when expected weather conditions will be cold. You don’t have to carry all of your layers with you into the field, but it’s better to have them in the vehicle if you need them so you don’t lose a hunt day. Kuiu has a great layering system
