Well, just got back from the sporting goods store with some new huntin goodies!!!

I got me a RiversWest jacket. It's hoodless but $80 cheaper than an identicle jacket with a hood. IT's the fleece one that waterproof, windproof, and ultraquite.
I also got me a set of lower/upper underarmor ColdGear long underwear. VERY Nice stuff, and I'm eager to try it!
Also got some Codet Wool pants. Seem nice enough, and I got some windproof, waterproof outerpants to go over them if it gets wet or really windy.
And I also bought me a set of Rocky Lynx 800 boots. Gore-Tex and 800 grams of thinsulate. Very comfy, and if you get these, go a 1/2 size larger than what you normally would. I usually wear a size 11 1/2, but got a size 12 this time.

The RiversWest and Underarmor I got because if the recommendations I've seen on here, and they are GREAT looking pieces. Total: $367.15!!!!!! Not used to spending that kind of money...

Well sounds like you got some good gear, I just bought a pair of rocky prohunter 600 gram boots with the new boa lacing system they are the best boots I have ever owned. well good luck I hope your new gear does the trick.

7 years to draw this tag i believe. Felt like 14 years though. Pretty rough to watch all these nice bucks in your backyard without the chance to tag one. I am really excited!!! What general part of Central Wa are ya goign to be hunting. You can send me a pm if you want to talk there. Been seeing some dandy bucks this year. Horn growth was very very good this year. Good luck boys and girls!!!!

Hey, if you need a hand on the hunt, i'd LOVE to tag a long and try to help you. You can always use another pair of legs to haul that sucker out!!! Swakane is some steep shizzle though, PM me anytime if you're interested!

Just bought a pair of Danner gtx 400 frontiers, 9", any thoughts? I like to hike a lot, the amount of tread seems to be on the conservative side (ball of foot primarily) for punishing high country hunts. I like the support they give however and the fact that they can be resoled right here in Wenatchee was a plus if they happen to wear fast. Experiences anybody? I've had good luck with regular low cut Danner hikers in the past.
 
Love danners, i actually just picked up a pair down at the American Shoe Shop in Wenatchee. I had my others 5 years of hard hard use and decided to get a new pair, i will check but they may be the same ones you got i just cant remember off the top of my head. I love them so far.

Tell me about spending money. I just dropped $200 on a new pack frame, new gators, gloves and a hat.
