I need input from the bow hunters on what gloves or mitts you wear in the field? When its only getting up to about 35 for a high? I have been using the half finger mitts but my hands are always frozen. And they always turn inside out when I take them off ... let me know what you guys and gals do

My fingers used to always get cold. Now I find myself usually just wearing light gloves throughout the entire season. Make sure your core and head are warm and you'll find that your extremities will stay much warmer as well. Try wearing a neck gaitor. Once I started wearing one of those, I never had issues with being cold. Heck, I wore one this morning and it was 47.

Small gloves with muff when it starts to cool off. A muff with handwarmers will take care of you when it gets really cold out. I have run into a few occasions when I had to have my bow ready for an extended period of time and froze my hands a bit but hopfully you will have your good friend mr adrenalin to keep you warm. That or wear a warmer glove for you bow hand and a smaller glove for your release that you can slide into your muff while you wait for mr or mrs deer to get into position.

Most of the season I just wear jersey gloves. When it's cold my hands are in my pockets with handwarmer 90% of the time & the bow's hung up. I do have some heavier insulated cloth gloves for colder weather, but even then they are mostly in my pockets with a handwarmer & I keep squeezing whatever's part's the coldest against it. Just keep them moving.

I have glove issues also. I don't want them too thick, yet I want them to keep my fingers warm. I have used the glomits, I really like them when it gets really cold. I can usually stick one finger out of the mitten and be able to pull the trigger. I did buy a pair of midweight from cabelas that are like mechanichs gloves, hoping they are nice. Never use a muff, too hard to use when I am always holding on to my bow.

I wear the glovmits with jerzey gloves in them. They come off nice and i still have the dexterity in my fingers to use the release. I can just flip the tip of the mitten part over and it has a hand warmer in it if needed.

Works great.

I'm with bigbucks, I use the jersey gloves with the fingers cut off on the right gloves, with my bow hung, with my hands in my pockets with the chemical hand warmers, I go thru them by the gross, I open a new set every time I go out hunting (once it gets colder). I also second the neck gaiter!!! Best heat regulator I have, besides my wife!!! smilesmile

Two good options for me have been the military green wool glove liners with the three fingers cut off on my release hand or my current setup is Under Armor glove liners. They fit snug and still have great feel for the bow and no need to cut the fingers off on the release hand. I just keep my hands in my pockets and rarely use handwarmers. Maybe in December but that is about it.

I go the jersey glove route with the handwarmers in the pockets as well. My hands only need to get cold when its time to shoot. Last year, however I won one of those electric warming muffs (FANCY!)from Prairie Pothole Days and may have to try that out this year while drinking tea with my pinky finger raised on stand.

neck gaiters are AWESOME. that, combined with a hand muff, and light gloves is what I go with

I like wearing the under armor glove liners like said they are tight and comfortable you wont lose any feel for your trigger or anything and then I love my muff with a hand warmer in the pocket. Keep my hands in the muff the whole time and then when I have to pull them out to shoot they are still covered for the brisk cold and also covered so the deer dont see

under Armor are great. I never used to wear any gloves. I use the under Armor and can feel the trigger like I want to. They are great. I use them into Jan. bowhunting on really cold days add in the hand muff with hand warmers.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
