Cold has never kept me from going out in the woods. The thing that I really hate is if it is pooring rain, but usually by gun season it will just snow. I personally love the cold because I seem to always see more deer when it is cold out, and it also makes it much easier to heasr them coming. Maybe you should look into getting better layers like polypropelene (i think that is how it is spelled) or Raven Wear. It can be expensive but being in your stand when a huge buck is in front of you is priceless.
