Dan, thats a great pix ofyour buck with the snow on his face... love it..hahahah you look nice andtoasty yourself! cant see the others...grrrrrrrrrr freeging red x's


what are you wearing for clothing in the extreme cold? just curious.. say 10 down to below 0 ????

(boots???) I need better cold weather boots...

Top: Under Armour T-shirt, UA Cold Gear mock, Cabelas wool sweater with windshear (you'll see it in the other 2 pics at home), Weatherby wool vest, Weatherby wool jacket, Berber or Whitewater neck gaitor and fleece or my "Russian" hat. (above) LOL

Bottoms: UA Cold Gear long johns, wool long johns, polartec fleece long johns and Weatherby wool cargo pants with windshear.

Feet: Cabelas Ultimax liner sock, Cabelas Outfitter Series heavyweight wool socks and Cabelas Predator Extreme Pac Boot with a toe warmer in the bottom for all day sits.

The key to the boots is to get them too big. I normally wear a size 10.5-11, but these are size 12. I won't be walking far in them, so the size doesn't matter....I just want the extra room to be able to move my feet.
Dan, exactly what I was looking for, especially with the boots info. I like the idea of that toe warmer for all day sits. bigger boots too...If that works in Canada it should work great here. Those boots should work good for Snowmobiling too.. I'll check tonight at Cabelas to see what they have in stock, I need to get some new boots asap.. for this late archery season and in ND after xmas...I hear it can get really cold out there too...

one other thing.. a glove that is water proof, warm yet conducive for bowhunting these late seasons... any recommendations... I am currently using a gortex thinsulated medium weight glove .... I have beencoupling it witha thin wool glove liner... inside of the gortex gloves.. my hands are good for about 3 hours, especially my bow hand,since I liketo hold my bow at all times..(may have to give that up in this cold and use a muff or something)anyway...they start to getpretty cold.. temps of 15-25 after the 3 hour mark..
