You are a tough cookie. LOL I have hunted when daytime highs here are 15 - 20 F below but if much of a wind, I stay home. No much for trees here so you are sitting/stalking in the open. Wind is a killer for me and today is a good example. It is 0 out now but we have a 20 - 30 mph wind with higher gusts. A good day to stay home and make up time with the family.
You know it cold when your bow is frosted to your wool glove when you get back to the truck at the end of a day. Makes a guy wonder if the wife is right on me being insane for hunting in really cold weather. Times like this is when you really apperciate gutting a deer. Oh the warmth on the hands!! Dragging it to the truck keeps you warmed up too!!
Goodluck on your hunting. Hoping the wind dies down so I can be out in the morning. They are saying 10 - 15 below. I have a feeling it will be colder.

RE: Almost to cold
What happens to your bow at those temps? Can it still be drawn back without breaking something?
Ps. I guess your name is for the climate you hunt?
snowman-----I have the hand muff,and use "hot paws" when needed but will be investing in some of those boot blankets next year
Need to get you one of th0se hot suits that keep you warm all day.

RE: Almost to cold
Extreme, you should check out those Heater Body Suits. One of those suits and boot covers will keep you warm at almost any temp. I sat for a few hours this evening with windchills at about -10 and was never even the least bit cold. In two years, I have yet to get cold with that combination.

RE: Almost to cold
Anything below about 25 degree Farenheit and I have a very hard time enjoying myself out there. I can do it, but its more of a struggle than a hunt.
Stonyrvr, can you give a little more info on that suit? Maker? Where it can be ordered?
Thanks.
