Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Cold Weather Hunting

does any one use Sitka for extreme cold? I am not hunting as cold as most so I am just curious. Thanks

would be interested in Sitka for EXTREME COLD also..ant thoughts

I wear duofold long johns,with a pair of wool bibs,smartwool socks(2 pair),insulated sweatshirt,with a heavy winter pullover jacket,with army surplus cold weather mittens,and also a wool filson duck hat.Then if its wet or windy,I have a goretex rain parka to wear under my light cotton orange sweatshirt.Oh,and I have Banff pac boots that are 2 sizes too big,so they arent tight with 2 pair of wool socks.My feet used to still get cold till I went to the wool socks and skipped the cotton.

Agree BM...No cotton! I use a combination of wool and synthetics.

duofold long jons, wool socks, two pair usually, a light flannel shirt then my beagle wear wool tracking jacket and pants. sometimes a johnson jacket if its a tick cooler w/ a wool sweater under that. stormy cromer wool hat and uninsulated lacross boots

If you'd keep yer damn jonhson inside the long johns and insulated bibs he wouldn't need his own damn jacket.

Prolly one of them people has to fiddle with something the whole time he's out in the stand and never sees any deer.

that almost made me piss myself laughin lol funny you say that thoigh, seems like i always see deer when i stop to tack a leak

On stand,

Regular cold...down to 10* or so, I wear a pair of wool johnnies under a pair of pants. Usually a plain t-shirt, with a long sleeve t-shirt over that and a colombia med wt. wool jacktet, and a blaze Kromer.

10* and under, wool long johns, wool bibs, a couple shirts, and a heavy wt. Bermiji woolen Mills jacket, wool socks, and Lacrosse Iceman boots.

Still hunting, I'm always over dressed.

Can't believe yall are talking cold weather when it's 106* in Texas today.Makes me feel a liitle cooler though! powdr

You Texas boys don't have to worry that much about it, but believe it or not, we'll get our first frost up here in a little over a month. Maybe sooner.

Lot's of good ideas. Above all else, I try to stay dry. Once you get wet either by the weather or by sweating, it's tough to stay warm.
