Nice kilt.  Is it a wool kilt or one of the modern blends?  I wear a sportkilt for mountain races.  Never tried it for hunting.  (Gets pretty breezy in the mountains around here)

BowEd:
Freedom of expression is a right in America last I heard.You've shown enough do it yourself take the bull by the horns attitude,unafraid of failure in the past.Hunt a while and you'll figure it out.I like your bow/arrows and quiver for your set up though.
Pretty cool you got that close to the old trickster.At least your out in the woods trying.That's what it's all about.

Mo_coon-catcher:
Thanks for the input everyone. I think I may dye or smoke stain te shirt to darken it up a little without changing the look too much, what do you all think? I have a piece of this same material I used as a smoking skirt for a fox hide that has a nice tan color to it. So I may try to copy it feels the look in addition to a nice cover smell. Same with the quiver. I do have a small handful of heavy wool pullovers for when it gets cold that blend in real well. But they may be be too comfy until the temps drop off.
I’m pretty sure the kilt is a lighter weight wool. I ordered a poly/viscous but the tag and itch say wool. So I’m treating it like wool.
It is aweful fun to hunt in this method, when it seems like most people want the newest best camo, with carbon scent killer and electric blocking materials. Using the fastest, shortest bow on the market set up 20’ in a tree. It’s fun to tell them how close I have animals move. I addition to the excitement of the animal being that close.

My wife really got in to the Outlander series, I bet if I show her your pics she'll try to talk me in to a kilt for next years hunting season.  Might even let me out of the house for additional hunting.

ETA showed my wife the pics, and sure enough "why don't you go hunting dressed like that?" :)

ksnow:
The vast majority of women seem to appreciate a man in a kilt, if worn properly. Every time I wear mine out, whether it is for hiking or out to dinner with the wife, many women want to talk to me. And the questions they ask sometimes, wow. I can't imagine hunting in a kilt where I do. Way too many thorns, briars, prickly ash and ticks and mosquitoes.

I hope your season goes well, best of luck to you. And great that you do it your way.

Kyle
