I thought you cajuns were real men lol.we get snow here at just under 4000 ft elevation and wind that flat out howls, which brings temps down dramatically and i have never worn long underwear.we sit under any bush or tree we can find to glass also and not in box with a fleece blanket..man up SEMIdeserts, especially high deserts get down right cold.now to answer your question,as i get older it gets a lot harder to hump these steep mountains here in cali,but i must say i still enjoy the hunt more than range sessions.
