We are lucky on the prairies that not all of the November -early December hunting season are not overly cold all month. There is always at least a miserable week.

There have been a few years from very early November right into December it was “damn cold” as Dwayne said above with deep snow all season.

If you didn’t hunt -30 to -40 you did not hunt.

Lots of our late season cow elk hunting is in December - January up in Peace River country. That’s damn cold.

On a side note thanks to all the Alaskans, folks from Northern USA and Canada who have kept this thread interesting and pleasant despite the prodding to descend into the all too common internet flame and bitch session.

Hope y’all had wonderful thanksgivings.
