Fortunately my Stand is only about4 blocks from my house... so I think I will be able to deal with it. I plan on hunting MOSTLY in the afternoon - going into my stand about 12:00 or so and staying until dark. The Urban Deer I'm working move from about 2pm to dark.

Hand warmer pouches on the toes between my 1st & 2nd pair of socks. Ditto for me. Only now they have toe warmers. They work better than the hand warmers because they're designed to work in the lower oxygen environment of boots. I used to use electric socks, but these are much simpler.

Your theory was put to the test on Monday, but I wouldn't call it cold weather hunting conditions. I decided to hunt my clover plot and was in stand by 2:00 pm on Monday. At 2:15 I had a large doe walk out in front of me at 50 yards. I couldn't resist the temptation and put a 250 grain Barnes Expander in her out of my Knight BK-92. ;D It was the first deer I've harvested in muzzleloader season since 2004, and she dressed out at 135 pounds! So it was 46 degrees in Ripley County with clear skies, and I might have been in stand for 30 minutes total. Tuesday was a total washout. It was plenty warm, but too much rain for me!
