I love huntin' in this cold weather. It was 18 when I went in yesterday evening and when I got out it had dipped down to 15...the only thing that was cold on me was my big toes. Cuz, once you see Mr. Big...you ain't concerned one lick about the cold!

I get out at 12:00 noon tomorrow and I am going to head up to my MOM and Dads and try and film 1 more doe hunt in the snow and snow we have here in Michigan right now.. I always wanted to shoot a Christmas deer maybe this will be the year with kids all grown up and the wife telling me to go the first of the pegs areall lined up.. Walt

I feel ya. I was out yesterday and just about froze both my cheeks off. 7 degrees, -13 wind chill. But it had the deer moving that for sure. Thank god for handwarmers

Good luck, Walt! I'll be at my parent's place in Lake Co for Christmas. Hoping to sneak out in the evening for a couple hours. We'll see...

Yup, the cold is cold on the deer too. They'll move when the temps are warmer to conserve body heat and energy. Look for them at mid day or the warmer part of the afternoon. You have to sacrifice the scent bit a little when it's fridgid. Do the chemical packs and all that. I have some inserts that you put chemical heaters in place in your boots. It really helps to keep the trunk and the feet warm as well as the head. Balclavas are a necessity and sometimes I double them. Sims rubber wraps on bowhandles are helpful. Do isometrics and pull the bow every half hour or so.

MeanV ..you are right on....I killed a doe midday 2 weeks ago...feeding is scarce and our Mich. deer are out to eat...snow depth = 16 inches. They're grazing all over ...on the sides of the main hignways....winter is on...food source is scarce.

hahahah...come on muzzy man!!!...get a plane ticket...I got a blind and a heater waitin for ya.

Good Luck! All I can say, is I will think of you while I am sitting on my couch, in my warm house posting on HNI.Oh, I orgot to mention, that I am all taged out for the year.

Cold....nah..it was around zero with high winds when I took these pics...mamma didn't raise no fool. The ONLY way to late season hunt.
