Everyone has a different tolerance for the cold and mine is pretty low. I just do not have much fun when the temperature falls below a certain mark. I hunt for my own pleasure and don't give much thought to what others think. I don't see hunting in 5 degree temps as particularly macho either, especially when the hunting is just as good, if not better, before the temps get that low.

I took two does and buck with the bow. Gun hunting in my opinion, is not as challenging anymore. I know others enjoy it and that is fine. I still occasionally gun hunt, but mostly just to enjoy the social aspects of hunting. I enjoy the solitude of bow hunting in a different way.

If you enjoy the gun season, or enjoy the sub-freezing temps, more power to ya. Go for it. The only "rules" here, are the one the state puts forth and the bars you set for yourself. Everything else is just nonsense.
