I understand this topic has probably been discussed in length before but I was wondering about saddle hunting in cold weather, mid November when their could be snow on the ground and temps freezing or below.
Typically on the ground or in a ladder stand you’d have on heavy bibs and a jacket but I assume that’s almost impossible in a saddle.
I had thought about instead of being layered so heavy you can barely move, why not wear heavy merino base layers and lighter out later then in the tree slip on slim fleece lined pants and jacket or puffy down pants and jacket?
Being new to saddle hunting and just getting back into hunting in general the last 3 years, I’m new to the concept of being warm but dressing so you can move. Childhood hunts consisted of long johns, sweats, then jacket and bibs that weighted 10 pounds each it felt like and only rifle hunted.
