For me, it used to not be a factor, but now with diabetes causeing my toes and fingers issues, it is. For me I can hunt down to 5F pretty easy with no wind if I am prepared.
Its the wind that kills me. For example I hunted wed when it was 20F out and was fine. But there was no wind, but I hunted a few days before in 38F with 10MPH wind, and I was miserable.
Alot of folks on here talk a big talk, but you guys must be the rare few, cause when it gets below 15F, I don't see another hunter in the woods hardly.
I grew up hunting in cold weather when I was a child, every opening day of rifle in the Upper penninsula of michigan it usually got to be around 10-15 degrees so im used to it now, until I picked up bowhunting and now im spolied with 30s-50s weather at the start of the season!
