RE: Kansas weather in late october
I've seen snow as early as Oct. 31st to light jacket weather at the first of December. Plan on some layers. I'd say a typical morning hunt from a stand, you'd probably want long underwear, a heavy sweatshirt over a t-shirt, and a warm cap to be toasty. That time of year when I'm actively moving in the woods, I can get away with a heavy sweatshirt or jacket and a warm cap and gloves.
The big thing about Kansas weather is that it can change so quickly since its right in the middle of the continent and get tropical air and arctic air in the same week.
