Why would anyone in their right mind wear cotton these days when we have all the synthetics out there that do not hold moisture? And it's your fault not to wear or bring with proper clothing to stay warm. And you keep bringing up hoodies.... that about says it all.... You remind me of the Millennials, wearing not practical clothing, but wearing it anyway because it looks 'cool'. Do you have barrel stickers and decals on the trailer too? LMAO

Stu I think you were right on both accounts!
My point was since when is 53 for a low too cold to take kids out hunting? I am dead serious, as it is simply astounding for a reason not to take them out, OMG, are the kids really that coddled now days?
[quote="gimpfinger"]And to answer why I don't have fancy hunting clothing. It's to **** expensive. Also 50 's is sweatshirt weather and this hoodie was 15 bucks in the camo that is right for where I was hunting. No trailer, don't even own a pickup. My barrel a old beat up 870 express that is covered in chipped spay paint. [/quote]
Well FYI, I don't have Under Armour or similar pricey stuff. I wear my tan polyester blend work paints that cost $21. The long underwear is polyester and/or acrylic blends, nothing over $30. Sweat shirts are acrylic blend from Walmart, $10-12 each. Guys that know me know that I am very thrifty to make the $ stretch. I don't have a gun newer than 10 YO, I too have had guns with spray painted barrels, and I drive a 16 YO truck. So I do get it and would not ever knock a guy for not having UA or other high end stuff or not having a fancy gun or truck. Anyway, it just seems you just forgot to bring a sweatshirt with for under the hoodie and maybe a green or tan blanket with to cover your legs to help stay warmer.
Gimp, good luck hunting the rest of this fall - I sincerely mean that as we need more guys like yourself out in the fields and sloughs VS the Fancy Nancy's and Barney's.
I would have thought that by now you'd of known that those are the guys that I poke fun of, not hunters like yourself.[/quote]
I seen 53 degrees at home and considered not even having a sweatshirt on because I had a 2/3 mile walk in carrying gear because the field road was soft. Didn't want to sweat. Only reason it was so cold feeling over here is because everything was dripping with dew. Like I said my heavy set friend was cold and he had one more layer on than me.
I can take cold, I'll coyote hunt all night in the snow without any problems. Most times without gloves on if it's above 20. But last Saturday was cold out there.
