yes keeping reasonably warm and dry goes a long way toward remaining out and observant
having a hat that keeps the sun out of your eyes is, in my opinion a mandatory accessory, and,
slow down, be observant, your goal is NOT to get over some far canyon or ridge line, as fast as you can,
its to spot game before it sees you and vacates the area.
walking through the tree line rather than open meadows, and sitting in the shade when you can helps keep your presents less noticeable a good deal.
if your observant in spotting other hunters ,youll notice the reflective flash of light off polished stocks and barrels from great distances at times
thats why I suggest you cover those surfaces, a couple rubber bands and a mill surplus scarf help eliminate that issue



both pieces of equipment noticeably increase your ability to spot game.


a decent down vest and polar fleece hoodie under a parka sure helps on sub zero mornings

comfortable insulated boots with good ankle support and an aggressive tread are nearly mandatory
