I've hunted down to 18-20. Breaking ice in the dark ain't fun.

-23 is the coldest I can remember hunting in and I probably wouldn't do it again.

Coldest I've ever waterfowl hunted was late goose at 15* with a 30mph NE wind wind chill was like -20 or something like that. Deer hunting I've sat in - actual temps many times. This past winter I think -12 was the coldest with a -40 windchill. I made it about an hour and had to give up.

I think I'm going to buy me some cabelas supermag waders this week. They have them on sale now and they are the warmest waders I can find and have good reviews.

You don't want real hot waders if your walking in . Or put them on when you get there .

I take a boat most of the time. My last waders were 5mm too. Just didn't have much boot insulation which the supermags do. I have some garage sale special waders that I wear when it's hot too.

A Good pair of socks will fix that something over the calf .

I wasn't talking about waterfowl...

The coldest I've hunted waterfowl was -10 it was a 4 or 5 years ago during that 2 day late duck season.

That I probably would do again, nothing like hunting running water when the temps dropped below 0 a few days earlier.

I have lots of good knee high socks. My other waders weren't bad but still got cold on those freezing temp days. The boot ripped on them is the only reason I'm getting new. My feet get cold really easy. I've tried all the tricks anyone has ever recommended and I still freeze my toes off. It is what it is, but I try and get as warm of stuff possible on my feet. Numb toes suck.

Coldest I ever hunted waterfowl was Christmas Day. Was -10 with a Windchill factor that pushed it to -25.

Elk/deer hunting, -20 with a windchill down to -45. Also the day I shot a doe. Wasn't much fun.

Last day of deer season last year it was in the low 30's with a 40 mph north wind right in my face. Most God awful thing I've ever done. Didn't see shit until it was so dark I couldn't see the pins on my bow.

Good to hear

Bought some sitka gear; a beanie, neck gaiter, and some gloves. Also some decoy stuff; slotted bag, 2 doz j weights, and PVC line.

For when it gets down into the 50s?

God that would be awful. I probably just stay in if gets that bad.

Really 50 degrees is bad ???? Wow the best time to hunt around here is when it's really cold around 10 to -10 degrees and when we get ice everywhere it makes me smile .
this is from last year all day under 10 degrees .

I love those kind of hunters. Hunt while it's hot and shitty hunting, then quit when it gets cold and the ducks come down and I'm all my myself.

I haven't looked at the Supermags in a few years, but when they first came out,...I wasn't impressed. The insulation in the boot stopped at just below the ankle, so from there up to where the neoprene starts, it was just rubber boot. Not what you would call warm or a good design.

Does Hodgeman still offer the Dura Mags? Like I said, haven't looked at the Supermags in a long time, but the Duramags design was waaaaay better. They're all gonna leak, so one isn't any better than the other in that department.

I'm still running my Duramags now, and just yesterday I sealed ever seam on them with aquaseal because they've started leaking like the proverbial sieve.

I've hunted in some wicked ass cold weather in those Duramags and very seldom will I get cold. If my feet take on any kind of a chill, I'll get out and walk it off and it doesn't take long to build up heat in them.

I'm also a big proponent of heavy wool socks when it's cold. Silk works too, but I like wool. The best trick I can give you about socks is to find a pair that are absolutely HUGE and wear them over a regular wool sock. Stretch them out if you have to, put them in a vise and stretch the ever loving hell out of them! And then put them over your regular fitting wool socks. They gotta be loose to have the insulation factor. If your feet are bound up, they're gonna be cold.

If you have sweaty feet, spray them with anti-perspirant, let them dry, then sock up... Kansas may not have the reputation as other states for cold weather, but it gets damned cold here in the winter. Last winter was one of the coldest, for the longest we've had in a long time, and I worked outside almost every single day of it. We started one day this last winter and it was -12 and never got above 0 all day. And I'll guarantee there isn't much colder than standing in a snorkel basket on expanded metal.
My $.02 but it's worth about a dollar with today's economy.
