Tips for hunting cold weather

[greg fields]

My best advice...  shoot one when its warm and stay out of the cold..  The older i get, the less I like cold weather.  I am starting to see why people move to Florida when they get older....
Buy the best cold weather clothing you can afford.  some of the heated clothing on the market today is very warm and good at keeping you comfortable.  Toe warmers in my boots keep my feet comfortable even in the coldest weather along with hand warmers in my gloves.  I change clothes if I have a long hike into a stand and get sweated.  One other thing a really like and thinks its helps a lot..  I wear two heavy hats.  One beanie type hat and another that goes over that and covers my neck..

How cold can it get in Texas?

I’ll tell you a funny story.
I grew up in Sheridan Wyoming and am no stranger to cold temps.
I moved to Texas for work (Stupid I know) in 1999
Around 2010 my brother started coming to Texas every year around February to hog hunt with me for a whole week.
The first year I told him to be sure and bring warm clothes because it was supposed to get really cold. He laughed...
A week or so later we was sitting in a pop up blind overlooking a creek at night. I kept hearing the side of the blind shaking and asked if he was ok.
He said “ I am wearing the same clothes I wear every time I go elk hunting and I have never been this cold”!  If I remember it was only 27 degrees that night with no wind.
For people that have never experienced it anything below freezing with our humidity levels is down right bone chilling! And until you experience it trying to explain it does no justice.

I remember one trip to Texas in March of about 2002, it got downright cold. We came down to hunt in warmer weather but our last night there it was 13 degrees. I was glad to head home to better weather.

December 26st this year the first day of the late archery here in Southwestern Pennsylvania was a cold one with lots of snow. It was 14 degrees in the morning and went up to 18 degrees in the afternoon.    Glad I had the cold weather gear to deal with it.
