    Smart Phone versus dedicated GPS

    Merino Wool

    First Lite as many others have mentioned. It has worked well for me so far. Someone gave me some new Black Ovis merino that I will be trying out, but I have nothing to report yet.

    Colorado: Salida/Buena Vista area....... Unit 57/58

    It's a beautiful area. I camped, fished, and 4-wheeled up there years ago. Never hunted it though. Always saw lots of game when I was up there. Best of luck!
