Late season bow hunt. New years eve I believe 93 it was -23 with a 25 MPH wind. Since I was bow hunting couldn't dress to heavy because the clothes would rustle when I drew the bow. Sat it out almost 3 hours. Did end up successful.
To old to do that now. Also a lot wiser and more financially sound.

Oh I hate the cold. Went to Saskatchewan one year for late season deer. Back when you could pop across the border and get a tag over the counter. It was about -20 when the north wind started blowing. Guide had us set up in tree stands too, the naked metal chair kind. I had brought all my military gear. Parka, wool sweater, long John's, mickey mouse boots, snow pants, face mask and big mitts . First two hours wasn't awful but the next few were. Hit a windchill of -40 by the time we climbed back in the snow cat. No deer, no birds, just silence for three days. Best part of the trip was the card games at the cabin. I was going to say "poker" games at the cabin but it just didnt sound right.

I envy some of you guys. Unfortunately it never seems to get very cold during deer season here in TN, because I like cold weather and I hate hunting when it's warm. It's not uncommon to have temps in the 60's after Thanksgiving and right up to Christmas. Later in January the temps will occasionally drop down into the teens and 20's though. I fondly remember hunting in the snow once. It was magical, sitting under a tree while the snow fell, and everything was dead quite. As far as just being out in cold weather, I have found 20 degrees to be my cut-off for whitewater paddling due to my hands getting too cold. Also sucks having to sit in the truck for fifteen minutes at the takeout just to thaw out so that you can remove your skirt and PFD that is completely iced over.
