No sh..t! My daughter tried it. As I was gutting her deer I looked back and she had her boots off, cooling her feet off in the snow. Said she spilled to much in, lol.

After too way to many years of beating my feat up doing Tae Kwon Do, my feet have little to no circulation, and get cold very easy.
What I found that helps keep the feet from getting too cold after hiking in to a hunting location, is to remove my boots and socks, take 10 minutes to let the sweat evaporate a bit and put on a new pair of dry wool socks.
This has made a good bit of difference in keeping my feet warmer, especially when I sit on a location for awhile.

Thank God you guys got around to talking about seasoning your feet. I thought this post was about somebody not wanting to get married...

Sorry, sometimes things get confusing when you get older.  :dunno:

I have thought about this but only issue is I generally sit for about an hour at each spot then move on. Wonder if my feet would sweat again before getting to next spot. Interesting

I have heard of guys spraying anti-perspirant on their feet to minimize sweating. Never tried it myself.

My feet always sweat like crazy..  The spray antiperspirant works good for me.  I change socks after the long hike, put a little more on and am good.  Have also used gold bond when I change socks out and a little in teh boots too.

I like these for when hiking/hunting in the cold/snow hunts:

If I'm on a hunt with snowshoes, I sometimes take these off my downhill ski boots and put them on my hunting boots:

And back at camp, these are what I change into.  I suppose you could just keep them in your pack and change into them if sitting over a spot for a long time.  They are so warm.   I don't go on backcountry snow hunts/camping trips without them.
