[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 1701558, member: 56428"] Ive hunted all over Canada/Alaska and I will agree with the layer up I use wool primarily and various wicking base layers. I wear gortex outer layer to cut off the wind even in a box blind. I want to answer the boot question you asked I use Muck boots they are 1600 grain thinsilate but I wear a pair of nylon socks with wool over them inside the boots and it works well for me. That being said I work outside all year around (in WA state) so I am kind of climatized somewhat. For gloves I wear usually a pair of heavy rag wool mittens over nomex flight gloves (ex Military here) and unless deer are present I keep my hands in my gortex coat pockets. The mittens are the kind that are split so I can get my fingers or thumbs out by folding them back if that makes sense. My other advice is judge carefully big bodied deer sometimes make rack look smaller when they are actually a great buck. My first time in canada first day in blind I took pictures of a buck didnt shoot and he was the best buck seen the whole trip. Now I like to think I know better haha [/QUOTE]
