RE: what to do once it gets cold
Practice w/ those clothes before season rolls round, and drop draw weight if you can. If you physically can' t draw because you can' t move change clothes. I live in PA and we should be @ about the same temps. I don' t wear bulky clothing , I dress in multiple thin layers and as of yet haven' t gotten froze out. That and I normally shoot 10 lbs heavier in " off season" at 3d than in the stand., makes a world of difference for me. Plus still hunting at that time of year is a riot and if you' re moving ( even slowly) you don' t chill as easy at least I don' t.Hope this helps, just MHO.
