Big Fin solo MT elk/deer day by day

[kansasdad]

The day by day self filmed Montana Elk/Mule deer is rolling out on YouTube.

Not bad filming for a CPA who has done a "show" for 10+ years.

I think this might be the first time I've seen @Big Fin break out the Sitka mittens? What is the review on those bad boys? Anybody else use them?

These ones? https://www.sitkagear.com/products/blizzard-gtx-mitten/optifade-subalpine

I've got the ones he was using in some of the trapping videos. They are waterproof, super warm, and very sturdy. I'm a big fan.

I had been wanting these and jumped on a pair last year when Bob Wards had them on sale at $50 off (only time I ever saw them discounted anywhere). They are indeed very warm, rugged and waterproof. I wore them with a merino liner last year down to double digit negative temps and my hands stayed warm.
Overall they are great for western big game hunting in the late season, but I don't use them for late season eastern deer hunting. They are just too loud to take off for the shot in close quarters tree stand deer hunting.
