Ive had days when I hope for 14 degrees!
High winds make for unsafe hunting in the woods that I generally hunt, and the deer also tend to hunker down until it ends. BUT...I want to be in the woods when it ends.
14 degrees with the sun out certainly makes a diff. you know the deer will be sunning themselves. I figure there are no deer indoors, so try to make do with what weather is given. It takes alot of preparation for cold like that- first rate boots, hat, gloves, lots of pocket warmers and layered clothing. When stand hunting, enclosed blinds you can move a bit in helps. avoid the caffeine, eat a very hardy breakfast and carry a thermos.
