What do ya'll wear into the woods when you're getting serious? Do ya make buckskins and go out in moccasins or do ya opt for a little higher tech apparel? Not that it matters as long as you're not seen by the animals, just curious as to how well different styles perform.

thigh high boots and a nice littly skimpy number. ;) ;D
jeans and a tshirt, when it gets cooler a flannel, even colder a set of woolrich wool pants and jacket. peace

Jamie you told us you were partial to red lace! :o
-
red for the fringe green for the lace. at least during the holidays. :o

I wear regular camo BDUs and long sleeve camo T-shirt. Doesn't hardly get cold enough to wear wool but I bought wool pants(mil surplus) last year for my Colorado hunt so I will wear them when it gets cold enough.
The reason I wear camo is because the folks that make the kind of cloths I like only make it in camo. I don't go for scent lock or any of the fancy commercial stuff. If I could find 6 pocket BDU type pants that weren't camo I'd get them. Pat

Mee too - camo BDU's or whatever was on the bargain bin at Wallyworld several years ago, camo gloves, and head net. Am thinking about making some kind of guillie suit (spelling?) from thin overalls and burlap.
-
Just picked up a light camo jacket at Wally world for $20 bucks ;D I wear what I have perferrably colors that blend in a bit.
By november it will be long johns, insulated bibs, 3 shirts, chook, gloves and still be shivering on stand ;D
Come rifle season I'm the Great Pumkin >:( ;D
-
BDU's,T shirt.Or shorts and Tshirt with Bug Tamer suit.Then for those mornings in the Teen's,whatever I have to stay warm.
-
Hey cowboy, made my own gillie from millitary surplus, and camo burlap, cheap and works! Auggie.
-
Hey Auggie good deal! lets see a pic of you in the woods with it - see if we can see ;D.
-
I like a pendleton earth tone plaid wool shirt and wool hunting britches, and LL bean Main hunting shoes. When it is warmer I wear light weight camo jeans. I stay away from camo most of the time as I hate to look like every other jolker out there, got to have a bit of indiviguality. Still need to get an Art young style wool hat.
-
I'm in the process of making my ghillie now. I'm gonna take a picture (or rather have someone else do it) of me in the woods while wearing it. Just to see for myself if it works. It sure takes a long time peeling the threads out of burlap pieces. :-\

Nut'in!!! ;D

I mostly buy the cheap walmart camo, and layer according to temperature. Don't require alot of layering even in cold weather because I've accumulated some natural insulation over the years. ;D

Hey Greg - you still eatin your veggies? he,he.. sorry - couldn't resist ;D.
-
Usually I wear bluejeans and a pullover till it gets cooler, say December. Then my camo jacket and pants and a lot of scent-loc. My ground blinds are very close to the area where the deer pass through, so no need for really hiding. The two tree stands are 100 yards apart and are up about 15 to 18 feet.
So far looks like a slow year. Keeping my fingers crossed. ;)

BDU'S in the early season and bigger BDU'S and wool when it cools down.I look like an add for the Army surplus store.I lost a lot of weight this year so I went back and dug out some old stuff from 10/15 years ago and love them,well worn and comfortable. :)

lol know exactly what you mean. I wear a skyline/treeline camo coveralls, when it is cold like below 0, with longjohns and wool shirt and levis. Was in a tree on Dec. 29th @ 29 below 0 and just about froze to death. Shot a spike with my recurve that when I found him, he had shed his antlers in his last bed. Found them in the snow.
-
Thats hard core man, wonder how Justin would fare at 29 below ;D Probably look like the ole trapper
in the Jerimiah Johnson movie frozen to da tree ;)
-
LMRAO ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Jeans and a black T and the biggest tip for good hunting... bare feet ;D. Not a shoe out there as quiet as bare feet. Gotta love still hunting :).

Dana, Notice the part where he almost froze to death. I guess I'm just smarter than to get in that position. Justin
-
Nah he froze to death if I remember right or was he kilt by a bear :-\
Have to watch the movie again, to be honest Justin I couldn't imagine hunting in 100 degree weather
of course it don't get that hot here, if it makes 90 once or twice a year thats hot. Were having an early cold spell
lows in the 40's highs in the 50's. Supposed to warm up again next week. As long as the rain quits I will be content.
-
The 50 cal rifle he was holiding kilt the bear that kilt him ;D

He was kilt by a bear. That is not what I was talking about though. You were responding to this.

You said this was hard core. I was just pointing out the part where he about froze to death. :D :D :D :D :D :D Justin

Sometimes us Yoopers don't know when to come in outa the cold, or it could be we get so cold the thought process just quits ;)
My favorite hunting is a nice calm, clear morning with no wind and a hard frost. The air is crisp and clean the leaves are all crackly
so you can hear anything moving as the sun rises and starts to reflect off the frosted trees. Even when you don't see anything a morning like
that is so beautiful it makes you glad to be alive. ;D
-
A pair of wrangler jeans a buckskin shirt and a wide brimmed felt hat with a bear claw and medicine pouch necklace and old leather boots or mocs.
Keep huntin

Its gonna be so hot here the first week or so, I will probably just wear my leafy-wear ASAT with shorts and T-shirt underneath. When it cools down, though, I am all about the BDU's and flannel/wool shirts....preferably Pendleton or Woolrich.
