    I was born and raised in south Florida, I've had all the hot weather I can stand. I've lived in Wisconsin for the last 10 years now and I'm extremely excited about fall and winter just around the corner. 20s-40s all year round would be ideal!

    I love the cold now but when I'm in my 60's it might be a different story.

    There's just something about wearing a thin clothes during the season that appeals to me.

    Im am 60 and dont like the cold. Im like you Vendetta i like thin clothing, i feel more comfort not having on bunch of clothes. Thats why i like two kill out early in season before that north wind cuts you into. In southern illinois its tolerable till about Nov.20th in that area.

    The only time I have an issue is the mornings I sweat walking to the stand and almost freeze to death right as the sun comes up and pushes the cold air down on me. For about 30min on a cold November morning...I hate hunting. LOL J/k!

    Moved to Florida from Michigan and then on to Tennessee. Don't like the extreme. Cold or Hot...Tennessee does not get the 'extreme'. I like that. Right now, trying to prepare for bow hunting, I am just trying to get past the 90's and the humidity. Makes for a rough day of shooting.

    Cold. No competition. Hot makes scent control harder, deer move less, and don't forget mosquitos. However, I don't need teens yet. I'll settle for some 30's in the morning up to upper 40's in the evenings for awhile.

    Can't stand hot weather at all!! Morning hunts in the 20's to low 30's and highs around 45 to 50 work good for me.

    Well, it goes like this when you live in the north. In August I can't wait until the Fall. In March, I can't wait until the Spring. We get Snow here from October to the end of April... I'd love the Fall year round, you can have the Winters... I'm on my second tri-axle of wood cutting already, just so I can have hunting season without putting off chores...
