The camo type won't matter much. You will likley be in Ponderosa pines most of the time, but the deer will be feeding fields - either winter wheat or hay. The weather can be highly varied. It could be in the 60's or it could be below zero. And the winds can also be tough in November. Bring lots of clothers and layer them, and bring hiking boots and warm boots like pacs.

The deer there are not usually monsters, but you should see some solid 4X4 bucks if you a going guided. You guys should have success; good luck anad good hunting.

Region A is good deer country and the pine covered buttes and draws make for a great hunting experience. Rifle hunt I take it? Orange vest and cap, otherwise camo won't matter and no need for it. Whatever you prefer to hunt in. Broke in boots. light pair and cold weather waterproof. Bring insulated underwear for cold weather.
I was in the Hulett area in early Nov and -20. It can also be in the 60's. A blizzard is possible, been there in one of those to.
Lots of White tails in A, some bruisers.
Day packs with water. snacks.
Being your guided, don't think you will need survival gear. Binos, TP, camera for sure.

What did your outfitter say to bring? He'll know better than most. That's why you pay him the big bucks.

I'll argue with Wayne about survival gear. I wouldn't trust my life completely to what a guide might or should have. At the very least, you need matches, a knife, a space blanket, and a compass and map and the knowledge of how to use them. Find a belt pouch that will fit them and put it on your person every morning as soon as you get up.
