Deer Hunting Idaho Unit 28

[sparker4]

My son, 13, and I are planning to hunt unit 28 in Idaho this fall. We are planning to hunt to the north of Haystack Mt. I am curious about the weather temperatures up there at 8,500 feet that time of the year, October 12th-18th. We are planning to backpack in and as long as it is warmer than 15 degrees at night we will be ok, but below that is going to push the limits of our gear. Can anybody tell me what to expect?

Thanks for the help, Steve

I hunt in another unit that is similar in elevation last year, a week later than you have planned, it was 30-40 degrees from sunrise too sun set, got down in the twentys at night, you should be ok but watch the forecast close when the time comes,
