| Missouri has extended the night coyote season to 9 months next year. I have never been but am looking to get into it. Got a new thermal but what cold weather gear would be recommended? I have boots covered but am looking for glove, coat, and pant recommendations? |

This is one reason I always wanted a Thermal. Wanted to see if there are any lurking around in range, in the pasture behind our place. Maybe some day. |

A recent coyote didn't follow the script and came in from my hard right while I was sitting on a fold-up chair behind a tripod. I happened to be wearing too much up top including a thick puffy coat and a camo fleece bath robe, which contributed to the delay in getting on the scope. I hadn't shortened the stock and had trouble getting swung around in time as well, had the safety on at the last opportunity, and he got away. D'OH!  It usually happens fast.  Take the safety off, ya’ big dummy. |

For top and bottom, I would invest in a few base layers. When it gets really cold, for me this is below zero, I don't really change my coat or pants, but add another base layer. A good wool base layer or two can really help keep you from having to bulk up to much or buy too much gear. My favorite coat isn't made any longer. It is white camo and brown camo and reversible. It warm, not too heavy and has big pockets. I wear Kryptek Vellus pants on the bottom and add base layers as needed. I have a Kryptek Vellus coat too, but that isn't as warm as I would like, so I switch to a warmer coat when it gets really cold. For gloves, I wear a liner glove and then a large overmitt. On my shooting hand, I take the mitt off when I get to the stand, and keep my right hand in my pocket holding an electronic hand warmer. Even if exposed for a few minutes in sub-zero weather, I can put my hand back in my pocket and warm up my shooting hand/finger. Just some things to consider. |

It doesn’t get quite as cold in Missouri as it does in ND but I don’t want to be miserable during the night. |
