After last weekend, I ordered a new pair of hunting boots. The 400gram boots are being retired, and I moved up to 800 gram Danners. If that doesn't work, I go to 1000, or call it quits.

 

I had on 800 gram yesterday wool socks and regular socks and still was cold. After lunch I found toe warmers in the truck and helped tremendously.

Three of the places that I have to hunt are at least 50 miles away . I am not going to drive 100+ miles round trip to hunt for 2 hours .

I have a couple of spots closer . One is in Walworth but we havn't seen any deer in well over a week . That's probably due to the duck hunters at the swamp . Another spot is Marion but I can't hunt there unless my oldest son has permission from his friend who owns the land .

If I didn't have something in the freezer I might be out there facing the cold .

Well it's going to be 61 on Monday , so you guys can get out and hunt then, but then you will be crying for cold weather again..

I am heading out now for the evening hunt..

I am bow hunting so sightings are happening just not the deer or range I am looking for ..

Good luck to all,, it will be all over soon enough so get it while you can,,,

I am 63 yrs. old and just retired on Oct. 1. I have been going out in the brutal conditions daily. I stay warm by dressing in layers and my outer layer is a windproof hunting parka. I keep my face protected with a tight knit facemask and I wear a couple pair of 100% wool socks inside my Sorel boots to keep my feet warm. For my hands, I use an Icebreaker handwarmer muff with midweight gloves and a chemical handwarmer inside. I sit on a hot seat in my stand. With this combination, I have had no problem sitting on stand and staying comfortable on these very cold and windy days.
