Sounds like nice weather.
Deer season ended here bout three weeks ago. Two feet of snow on the ground and the high yesterday was -36f. Too cold for me out there. I won't even drive to town until it warms up some.
Do for yourself as much as you can, eat what nature provides as much as you can. This is the key to sleeping well and living long.

No need to go all the way to MN for those kind of temps. Texas has all the cold you need (currently 9 degrees in the Panhandle). Glad it was a good hunt, though.

-36°f, brrrrrr coldest it beem this year so far here tis -2°f so far... Have been in woods on stand @ that temp, an hour seems like days Just as ready ta get down a doe eased up ta bro's stand... Went ta draw back, he had no trigger release, arrow (aluminuim) fell. Could here ot pinging every branch it hit on way down... Tis pretty sure the doe twas a laughing... Got several awesome memorries, from whin we drove (family), ta MN for Christmas. Son & i went hunting with bro... kry226, can remember sevwral times hunting OSBWMA, hog & deer in them temps.. Slept (attempted) in a summer tent with summer sleeping bag in 9°f temp... Had a suzuki sumeri, no ruff, so no way ta warm up, still sat in stand for hour... Enjoy hunting in the cold & snow, critters cant get outta them temps, can be some of the best hunting... Getting ready ta go test the ice... Stay safe, best wish's...

25° in the Hill Country is my limit. Anything colder makes my teeth chatter. Once there i’m checking out.
