.....o my..

 

All you have to do is make a small mistake in those temps to make the hunter fail list. I have been in intensive care two times in my life and I have no reason to push things over a deer. Pass me a beer and the tv remote please

 

Its also spose to have like 7 inches of snow, so I thought hey, I shoot a deer, easy tracking job . And those deer should be moving in -7

 

I value my life more than 70 pounds of venison!!!

 

you guys are talking about making mistakes in that cold weather. not to sound rude, just looking for some info. what could happen in that could of weather thats different from 20 degrees or so?

 

not that I'm preaching, or being a goody two shoe, but let's say you slip and break an ankle, hypothermia can set in ALOT quicker in those temps than 20 degrees. just be extra careful.

 

ok. actually I just loked at the weather and its only spose to be 18. -7 doesnt set in untill night so... i shouls be good in 18.

 

Go get'em, just let someone know where you'll be and when you'll be back. Good luck.

 

decided to stay home tommorow, calling up to a foot of snow!

 

Negative 7 dangerous?

 

HAHA!!

 

It was either that or this one





In all seriousness though, in sub 0 temps, the wind is the big factor. Also, if you are siting in a stand you'll want something to insulate your feet from the platform. You will also only be able to hold your bow for a minute or two, don't grab for it right away

 

I decided not to go out tommorw since their calling for a foot of snow
Also you made the right choice

 

The 30th of December I shot a doe from the ground in the morning. -21 was the temp that morning.

Snowing like crazy here right now. Calling for 8-13 inches. Temps are supposed to start falling fast around noon. New spot we put a blind in the deer are there on a 3 day pattern... today is day 3. I'll be sitting in that blind this afternoon :D

 

Smart man.............

 

4 below is my limit ... and I had lots of hand warmers ... in my pockets, in my boots, in my gloves, and a face mask .... had to move around when I got cold...
