That's where premium hunting clothes come in handy...and placing your stands where the wind is at your back.

I upgraded to a better set of bibs and jacket (windproof, waterproof and better insulation), and noticed a big difference.
I also put some anti perspirant on my feet, I think that helped keep my feet from getting cold...along with boot blankets.
Now it's just a matter of trying to be where the deer are!

Well, All I have now is some lightweight clothes. Since my dog got hungry and ate my bibs.
So it's too cold for me nowdays. Otherwise, I would be right in the middle of it. great time of year!

Definitely. Had on my Columbia wool bibs and shirt, fleece neck gaiter, wool socks, warm gloves and hat. You definitely can't cut corners on cold weather clothes. The investment is worth it, if you want to hunt in this type of weather.

It isn't so much the cold that hs me hanging up the gun for the year, it is the lack of deer movement due to two months of hard hunting pressure.
If the deer were moving, I'd be hunting, even in these temps.

My trail cameras have kept me warm the past couple of weekends. No mature bucks moving during daylight.
If there were some moving, I'd be out there in my heater body suit warm as toast.
