I remember deer hunting at age 12 with a skim of snow on the ground. My stand was the chute of an old hay baler, my gun was an old 16 ga single shot with 00 buck (i actually killed a few deer with that old gun - it kicked like a mule), and The thing I remember most was I was wearing Chuck Taylors, not exactly the warmest footwear. My feet didn't have feeling for a couple days it seems like.
