Well we had an unsuccessful hunt this year up in the Bruce.  The deer were all over the place last year but decided not to show themselves this time around.  Here is a short little video of my stand this year.

There is about a twenty to thirty minute walk into the stand from the cabin so the trick is to dress lightly and pack your insulating layers in for the morning so as not to overheat.  I like to attach my Kifaru Scout pack to the tree behind me and sit in the stand which I put up before the hunt.

For sitting in the stand in temperatures around the freezing mark I like to wear insulated boots with thick 90% wool socks, Keen insulated winter boots, MEC Mercury Tights, M1951 100% wool field pants, a running tech shirt for wicking moisture, a Boy Scout 85% Wool Jackshirt, a down vest, an insulated blaze orange hunting jacket I picked up at Meijer, an insulated hand warmer my brother in law gave me along with some air activated heat packs, some 100% wool glove liners and finally a Thinsulate toque.

For walking around from the stand I pack the insulated jacket, down vest, handwarmer and toque for a light jacket and a baseball cap.

If not in the stand I switch out the Scout pack for a Kifaru Tailgunner with just the shoulder sling as my possibles bag.  The rifle is a Browning A-Bolt II Composite Stalker with Boss in 30-06.
