I made one out of a beaver pelt with fur inside of course.  Would love to find some of those sheep skin "woolie boogers" that Paul Brunner sold in his catalog.

I use one all the time unless it's pretty warm.  I can get away with light gloves even in cold weather.  Makes a nice handy place to store my grunt tube too.

I have one I bought for 10 bucks at a goodwill.  I never use it though.  The pockets on my Asbell pullover are nice and deep.  I put a chemical handwarmer in each one and I have yet to need to carry and strap on the additional muff.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Same one that I have.  Still works great.  Can't stand having thick gloves on, so when it gets cold, I break it out.

My favorite way to keep my hands warm!

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I have a wool one made by Gray Wolf.  Use it with my lighter wool as the pockets are not all that deep on them.  My heavier/insulated wool has very deep pockets that kind of take the place of it.  I haven't used gloves in years, also haven't had cold hands in years!  The chemical hand warmers work great in them too...

I use one and add hand warmers also.  They work great most of the time.  I had a nice 8 pt. buck sneak up on me this fall, and when I noticed him he was only six yards from the base of my tree.  In my excitement, I drew my hands out of the mitt too fast and he heard me.  Bummer!

But, there was a good ending to the story.  Fifteen minutes later a doe led a good 9 pt. buck at eight yards!  I was ready for this one!

I won't give up on my muff - just have to look around more!     :laughing:

muff is all I ever use,add a hand warmer when it gets real cold. the best part is that I am able to wear the same weight glove year round (just a thin glove liner) so never have to deal with differant glove thickness.

I shoot year round with a light pair of gloves. When its cold I wear the hand muff and the same light gloves.  I hunt through mid January in the Midwest and have never had cold hands while hunting.

I love mine.  One of the best investments I made for Wisconsin hunting.

It's a must for me. I have a problem with cold hands. A muff with one one or two handwarmers plus a pair of light Marino wool gloves works great for me.
