Where are you planing to hunt specifically?

What else can/should I do?
Relax! It's a hunt, not a job interview!

Spacific location might help a little, because you might be coming to my neighborhood (Pagosa). How about some specifics on the hunt plan? It all comes into play. I just stepped outside a minute ago and it was raining---cold, but still just rain at 7200 feet and only a light dust of white visible in the high peaks. The snow isn't hitting yet. BUT, it's getting pretty cold at the 9000-foot elevations, so I'd honestly be looking from that altitute to a bit lower--not higher as much unless you find a well-sheltered park. The bulls are pretty stirred up now, so I'd work on calling. They're herding up to move to the winter grazing grounds pretty soon. Bulls are getting stupid, and cows are looking for company.

For gear? Just like any other big-game hunt, but with the provisions in mind that it's gonna be cold. Leave your cotton at home, and invest in wool everything.
