Woodchuck, Where in northern MN are you from? I live in Carlton and hunt mostly in southern St Louis County.
Jackmaster, Just wear heavy gloves or use a hand muff with a hand warmer in it. I have had my bloody hand stick to my rifle barrel after gutting out my buck though.

Gotta go guys, Time to to hit the bow stand. It's beautiful here today, sunny and in the mid 50s (above zero)!
