Merino wool shirt and long underwear bottom and socks. Then layer. Wool is amazing. I use Filson and won't go back to the so called latest and greatest. And it helps with scent control and keeps you warm when wet.

One layer of this wool and berber fleece with wind stopper as outer layer kept me out last night and toasty warm in single digit temps until 9pm, when my hunting partner said he was too cold to keep going.

The first time I went hunting out west I took everything I could think of and most of it was not needed. I was surprised when I pulled up in Wyoming to stop for the night and everybody was putting on their winter coats and vests at the restaurant but I was in t-shirt and a open long sleeve shirt. They were used to it and it was normal for them while I on the other hand was used to much more humidity being from Kentucky.
Still it will be cold and windy and after 5-7 days it will start to effect you just like it does the residents.
Your full of it. I've never, ever known, of a person that comes from East of the Mississippi that could handle our "Western" winters. Eastern people just aren't tough.

Well looks like name calling is ok on here or you broke some rules.
I told the truth.
Also I NEVER said we could handle the hard cold long, after 2-5 days it will feel just as bad as any of the rest. I guess you don't understand.
Come out here in August and see how you can stand the humidity.
Here the cold has a lot of humidity added to it making it "feel" much colder.
The first time I went to Alaska and came out of the airport I wondered why everybody was all bundled up because it didn't seem that cold to me, the 3th day I was bundling up far more than the residents were.
When we go out to Wyoming and Montana hunting the first couple days don't feel that cold to us but after a couple days it starts to effect us. No different to people that live at sea level and the people that live up in the mountains. Las Vegas in 105 temp doesn't "feel" that hot to us the first few days but 95 here in Kentucky with the high humidity will knock people out that are not used to it.

It was a joke, or did you miss the smiley at the end? Get over yourself dude.
Oh, and I received my Bachelor's from OU. You know, in Norman, OK where it gets hotter than [beeep] and stays that way?
Good grief. A complete lack of sense of humor is engulfing this country. We're officially effed.

Bad way to run a joke.

I gotta be completely honest. Being from Texas, I don't experience a lot of truly cold weather, but we do have a few days a year that are unbearable, and I always suffer. 25 Degrees is brutal cold for here, and always the best calling, but I can't hack it for long. This topic is of great interest to me, please keep discussing the different materials and methods you guys use to stay warm, it's an area that I am severely lacking in.

For the question about who we are hunting with it is Hickory Creek Outfitters and this time of year it sounds promising. However, since I booked the hunt a friend of mine here in Raleigh informed me that he has about 5000 acres of farm land closer to Emporia and has invited me to hunt. So, next trip to Kansas I guess I will guide myself. We are planning another trip late this year to a farm I own in southern Illinois and the dogs have just about overrun the place.
Like Chupathingy I too have learned quite a bit about the required clothing in Kansas as well as a number of other areas. I have hunted a number of states in this country and cold is easy enough to deal with but the wind is another subject all together. So all of the information you guys have provided is much appreciated and will be taken seriously. I duck hunt with a guy that wears a long sleeve shirt and a polar fleece pullover. That's not nearly enough for me, but I guess he has more hair on him in the right places than I do.

I moved to CO from TX in 1992. I have to agree with the statements of how humidity makes it feel colder. To me a TX 30° day feels the same as a CO 10° day. I'll save you guys the hassle of telling me I'm Full of IT, I already stated I'm from TX!
As far as clothing goes for this time of year I wear a mid weight lower and wind resistant camo pant(or ski pants if the temp hits single digits), a syn base top, a lightweight down sweater or vest(not a down coat), and then a wind resistant jacket.
I like down because it provides great warmth for its weight and can be stuffed in my jacket pocket if I decide to take it off.
