Not that cold that time of year but for cold weather, if in the 20's(which I doubt) more like the 30's,perhaps even higher. Go with thin polyproplyene long johns, polypro liner socks with acrylic or wool wicking socks over top. No cotton against the skin...Layer clothes so that you can adjust for warmth/cooling in the field. A decent rain gear setup is a must. Boots of your choice, 400-1000 gram thinsulate depending on whether you walk, sit, still hunt etc. Thin pair of gloves, thinsulate if your hands get cold easy...

Don't forget your balze orange. You'll need 400sq in. for WV, I use a hat and vest....

Weather there is unpredictable at best...The first week of Dec 2002 found our group bear hunting in t-shirts by noon....that was an odd season...
