Winter clothing

[ole 5 hole group]

For the last decade I wore a white insulated coverall when shooting coyotes in snow country.  The last two days I was out & about and I think the coveralls have about had it.  A few too many run-ins with barbed wire and my waist line is either getting larger or the coveralls have shrunk a little.
 
I was looking around the internet for replacements and couldn't find much for "quality" and when I did the coat & bibs were "winter camo" and priced fairly high for what you get.
 
What do you "Northern boys" wear while sitting in the snow with temps as low as -15*F??  I no longer find much joy in calling for coyotes in tempertures lower than a -15*F.  You can say I've either gotten a little smarter or I've turned into a "wuss" but temps from -5*F to +30*F suit my ole body and mind a whole lot better.
 
Pelt prices are starting to go up and in another week, maybe two, a good pelt should fetch $40 to $50.  Right now the top average is $20 and my buyer wants them whole and not skinned.
 
Saw only one yesterday and he wouldn't come in any closer than about 560 yards - just a bit far for our 1911's.  Had my granddaughter along and it was her first experience sitting on frozen ground in low teen temps, facing into a 15mph wind and hoping to attract a coyote to within 70 yards.  Had her back out today and it wasn't as nice out there as yesterday weather-wise and we didn't see squat.  My excuse was this is the last weekend of deer season and there are still a few pheasant hunters out as well - I don't think she bought that excuse.

I wear my "regular" cold weather/arctic/snow/ski outfit and then wear an oversized white butcher's coat or a lab coat rather than coveralls. The butcher's coat is quite roomy (get one about two sizes too big) and hangs to the knees. That way you have nice warm familiar clothes on under the easily removeable lab coat. When you sit or kneel it drapes over your legs.

I bought a pair of snow cammo from Cabela`s. Down to zero I strip to my underware and still have to unzip the zipper if I walk. I have laied in the snow for 20 min. and not melted any snow. They are not warm, they are HOT.

[Sourdough]

I bought the Winter White Bibs and parka sold by Cabela's, they are great but not made for tall guys.  I'm 6'2" and the pants come half way to my knees when I sit on a snow machine.  I called Cabela's and complained, but that's been four years and no tall sizes yet.  if you can use a 30" inseam you are good to go.

I never have worried about camo colors.   I wear anything that is warm and quite.  I have access to a lot of Military surplus gear in my area.

[DANNY-L]

I use my heavily insulated hunting bibs and coat with a white camo cover up over them.

I travelled to Cabela's and found nothing that suited me - like Sourdough, I need a tall size and they didn't have them in their better lines. 

There's some nice winter pattern wool out there but wool attracts and attachs itself to everything in sight and picking burrs/seedlings from the outfit for an hour after getting home gets old real quick.
   
I've got warm waterfowl gear, a little noisy, but I might just do as Danny-L does, if I can't find white/snow camo bibs & jacket, and just put the calling unit a little further out.

Google, military snow camo.  You can buy the stuff cheap as hec and wear it over your regular cold weather hunting gear...
 
For me though, I am all about the NatGear snow camo.  Both me and my hutning buddy uses it and we absolutely dissapear....

I finally found a pretty decent set of winter camo - expensive but they should get the job done. 
I've been gone for the past week and will leave again tomorrow, so I won't be able to give them a workout for a couple of weeks yet.

I got the predator camo product line from Little Acorn Outdoors - on the XL and bigger sizes the inseam is 33" but the sizes run small - a XXL is just a tad larger than the "old XL size" from years ago.  I got the XXL in both bibs and parka and they fit fine but just a little tight across the butt when squating down - the war department will have to figure a way to "let it out" a little.
 
Now all I need to do is shoot 10 coyotes in the next 8 weeks and the winter camo set will be paid for - that might not be as easy as it sounds.
