Cold Hands

I think about buying one of those every year. I definitely would if I was hunting deer in Saskatchewan.

I used to hunt out in the wide open spaces in Alberta, but I don't remember ever being as cold as I've been in Ontario. Probably the humidity here, or maybe I'm just getting old and wimpy!

VixChix ---- In reality use, I feel that the suit would not lend itself to being applicable for bow hunting -- in other words the website to me is a sales promotion and does not represent reality in an actual hunting scenario. I have not experienced the luxury of time to emerge from the suit nor being able to move that amount to shoot a deer. I wonder how high the stand was from the ground --50 feet? However, it would be warm.
Hey bow hunters, do you echo my thoughts as well?

Yeah- I'd leave it open enough to hold my bow. I'd also only use it on the ground. I guess a good sleeping bag would be cheaper in that case, eh?

VixCix, if I have to stay in a stand I use a sleeping bag when it gets real cold. Just stand up and it falls down out of the way.

Good luck!

thats the way to go bobby....there is no way your hands can get cold using a muff with hand warmers. it gives you full use of your fingers during the shot as well. I even use my thermacel inside mine.
