Looking forward to it. Perfect timing right after Christmas and I can hunt all week. I have a Heater Body Suit getting delivered tomorrow. Testing to see which is better Iwom or HBS. Looking forward to staying warm while waiting for a buck. Bring on the bitter cold. :dance:

How did the suit do? I hunted one day that week and froze my toes a bit. Saw 4 deer moving, but had no shoot.

I hunted 7 days of my 10 day Christmas break and can honestly say I never felt a bit cold except for one day when I fell in the marsh waist deep. Temps were hovering right around zero for a high plus pretty stiff wind on most days with wind chills -20 on many days. Worst part was getting out of my HBS at the end off the day.
