Early-Mid season I use the Ascent pants and jacket, Traverse or Merino Long Sleeves, Kelvin Lite vest if necessary, Jetstream as outer shell if needed for the wind. I also like the Jetstream for it's pockets, i'll keep my mouthcalls in the left sleeve pocket so they are always close. Timberline pants if things get windy or cold. Sitka boxers, merino beanie and sometimes merino gloves or the shooter gloves. Base layer either Sitka merino or Ice Breaker if needed.

Mornings in mid-september can be cold but things warm up by 9:00 so I like having thin layers that are compressable if I need to shed some. The Ascent pants and jacket are super quiet, breathable and lightweight. They dry easily and stretch, i'll be ordering some in solids for fishing and hiking.

Add a Jetstream jacket (and Timberline pants if you tend to be cold) and you have the first 2-3 weeks of september covered.
