how cold does it have to get down to before you stop hunting

davidmil

Your scale doesn't go low enough. Without looking or knowing... you must be from the mid Atlantic or lower. -10 is starting to get a chill on here.

The weather never seemed to bother me in the past, now I've got older and softer. When it gets below 20 now, I start thinking twice about going out. A few years ago I spent a week in camp and the temp top out at 12 and it didn't bother me at all (and we were sleeping in tents with a night time temp of 2), but that was then.

Lowest I can remember hunting in was -6 not including the windchill, but I would definitely hunt in temps lower than that if I had the opportunity to, it just doesn't get that cold around here during hunting season. Now that I'm going to school up in NH though, I may have the opportunity to hunt in temps lower than that.

I have hunted Alabama when the temps were in the high 20's with lots of humidity and have done saskatchewan -15f with hardly any humidity( but as we know it's fairly dry up in that part of canada). IMO I was more miserable in alabama than canada but i was prepared for canada at that temp but wasn't prepared (dressed) for the alabama temps. Air temp is just one variable, moisture and winds also play a role too. So when does it get too cold for me to hunt? If I am on a guided hunt it has not gotten too cold to go out. If its a DIY than it has has happened several times and it was a combination of wind ,temp and moisture that did it for me.

I suppose for me it all depends on the wind, but I do know that yesterday when I looked at ceiling clock (with the thermometer) it said 4:45 and 7 degrees, turned off the alarm clock and went back to sleep, that was to cold. But if it was rut, well that is a different story
