You can get handwarmers at Wal-Mart. Just practice and know your firearm!! Try to look for deer signs, and be smart.
Shoot to kill or starve.
Practice good marksmanship and patience.
you shouldn’t depend on hand warmers to keep yourself warm. If you need to use them, you are not properly prepared for the weather. Hand warmers will make you sweat, which will inevitably make you colder.
I’ve spent weeks in arctic winter conditions with relative comfort. Keeping your head, neck, and core warm is key. If you keep those areas warm, they will keep your extremities warm. If you don’t keep those areas warm, even the biggest, most expensive gloves and boots won’t keep your fingers and toes from freezing, since your body diverts blood away from those areas.
Bring lots of layers that you can add or remove depending on your level of activity. Eat lots of calories, and drink lots of water before you go.
When I go out in cold weather, I always prepare for the worst case scenario. What if something happens and you can’t make it home that night? Do you have everything you need to survive the cold night? Those hand warmers are only going to last a few hours.
take a hunters safety course. it will give you tips on handgun safety, how to dress an animal after a kill, outdoor survival tips and usually they show pictures of animal tracks.
I don’t use handwarmers, like the other guy said, if you are prepaired you shouldn’t need them.
