Coldest was during a blizzard at about -5. I sat for 3 hrs. I was covered in snow by the time my dad came to get me. He walked right by me and didn't have a clue I was there. It was funny. I wistled and he spun around and kind of did a double take when he saw me. I think the hottest I've hunted in was about 80. I hate hot weather.

The coldest? well it was raining and it started to freeze and turn to sleet. I was ther probably an hour.

The hottest? 98 degrees 95% humidity. 100% skeeter infested. I lasted about two hours cause I ran out of water. I thought half a gallon woulda been enough!

In both instances I was in Florida!

FOOLPROOF?
Never underestimate the power of a fool!

What if the "Hokey Pokey" really is what it's all about?

Coldest? -20, late december, WI.

Hottest? 80+, opening day last year, IL.

Coldest, I can't remember the ambient, but I think it was around 30-40 below, but the wind chills were around 80 below. I got my first bow kill in that weather, an arctic fox. I've hunted caribou in near zero visibility at times, and it was probably around 70-80 below chills again there.

I've had two very hot hunts, the first being with Maui Wes in Molokai, Hawaii. It was January, and about 90 above with high humidity. We walked a couple miles into the mountains after spanish goats. I had just left 90 below wind chills on the north slope of Alaska, and I'm suprised the heat change didn't do me in. It held me up though, that's for sure!

This summer we went caribou hunting on the north slope. The week resulted in record highs for the area, topping low 90's for a few days. We got 14 caribou down in 6 days of hunting, 8 overall days, and lost no meat. The skeeters were out in full force, but more annoying than anything.

In all instances, it pays to have the right gear!

ABM I was hoping you would chime in on this one, that is beyond cold to me!!! BTW were there as many no-see-ums as there were skeeters?
