Tips, not necessarily in order, and not necessarily from TFL:
1. Buy good optics, both scopes and binocs. Even my shotgun wears a Leupold scope (purchased second hand). No substitute for being able to clearly see the game.
2. Buy good boots. Gotta have great boots to support your feet and keep 'em warm and dry. Related, carry a spare pair of wool socks so if your feed do get wet, you can change into a warm, dry pair.
3. Use your underarm antiperspirant on your feet. Less perspiration from your feet helps keep them warm.
4. Shoot your hunting rifle sufficiently in the off season to know where your cold bore shot will land relative to your 100-yard zero. Make the appropriate allowance.
5. Wear layers of clothing rather than one set of heavy duds. Take off layers as you move around, put them back on as you sit and cool down. Avoid breaking a sweat while moving if possible, so you don't get chilled as the perspiration evaporates.
Could add more, but it's a start. Always more to learn . . .
