Whats the deal with Camo Clothing?

But if you look around and research things it comes out better. My Camo (3d leafy) is called a bug suit. Very thin, but baggy enought for cold weather close under it. jeans and t shirt on hot days. 45.00 Bass Pro
It has a hood and mask built in.
I have about 150 to 175 in my hunting set up 3D camo top and bottoms, Rocky Mountain snake high top boots, hat, gloves, mask.

 

I buy my stuff in spring when hunting season is all over with.
I never had scent control clothing before but this last spring I bought Scent-lock savannah pants and jacket for about $120 including tax for both pieces...

Buying stuff now just drains your wallet. It's like going to your shop to have your hunting bow re-strung right now.... Gee, they might get to you in December...

I really take advantage of the after season sales/clearance/closeouts/etc...

My general rule of thumb is that I only pay full/retail price for gasoline and that's because you have no choice... A few exceptions come here and there but you need to do a little shopping around and haggling...

I bought 80% of the camo I have now 2 years ago in the end of Jan when Cabelas has their big sales to get rid of previous years stuff.

Do with out this year and see what goes on sale at the end of the season!

 

I buy what ever is on sale and keep it till it rots:biggrin1: I dont fool with under armour scent lok and all that stuff. 15.00 each for a pair of pants and a shirt in wal mart. If I havnt killed my deer before it starts to get cold I just put on a pair of sweats underneath and I am good to go. I waited till the end of the year last year and bought a 100.00 remington coat on clearance for 35.00 at wally world.

 

I bought a brand new scentblocker switchback suit on ebay for $130. Its just like the outfitter series without the removable fleece liner. Nicest stuff I have ever used, and I bought the new dream season boots, I had some money put back for this season, new bow, new camo, boots, stands, range finder, I spent a lot!! Figure I better do it now before a wife and kids, yikes. We will see if it helps.

 

Kind of my point with my set up. The camo is a outer cover very thin. Warm I ware t shirt and jeans, colder a light jacket pull over, very cold a fleece pullover and thick soaks and long johns. Then put on the outer camo.
We are lucky to see any blow freezing weather around here any more. It has not really snowed in 3 years

 

Not so much in Illinois, you will freeze your nerts off of you don't have good layering practices and some nice windblocker gear. It does tend to get expensive, I hear bow prices are going up significantly for 2008?? Anyone else hear that:censored: :censored: :frusty:

 

I'm the same way.Buy it after the season is over when their dropping the prices on it.It will only be higher the following season.

 

If no one jumps on me I can tell you all a trick I learned for riding a motorcycle year round. Back then it use to stay under 32 all winter long here. Some times in the teens and lower. But I use to eide 35 miles one way to work and back. So here we go.
Put on you winter close the find a good fitting rain suit. Then put on light camo. The rain suit will keep the wind out and body heat in. can keep scent in also. Wind can not get through the plastic. You body heat can not get out

 

Camo!

When I was in my 20's I hunted in all weather and had all the gear!
Now in my late 40's ive learned to fill my freezer before it gets to cold!
I gettem in Bowseason and blackpowder Nov 15 or 20 Im done!:noidea:
Unless I havent caught up with that biggin yet!:laugh:
Then Dreadly, I grin and bear it!
I layer the clothes too,but only the outside is Camo.

 

I know!

My old lady wears them!:laugh:

 

Why are most of the clothes so expensive? The same reason there are so many $700-$800 bows being sold. Because people keep buying. Simple as that.

 

I agree!

MONEY: people will pay for it!
I just talked to a huntin buddy that went out and bought a $2000.00 Crossbow package that shoots 405fps
Price didnt matter he wanted that speed, Put it on the card!:noidea:
He's not gonna bowhunt 1 more year with the other club members killing big bucks at 60yds with a crossbow hes gotta have one, no matter what the price!:frusty:
Thats the attitude of today!
Stores: jack the price up, They will empty there wallets for it!:doh:

 

I gurss I am a cheap sob. I buy used lol and maybe that is why I have so much. I just find it hard to buy a 30,000 dollars car when my 400.00 car will go just a far and just as good. I have only bought 3 new bows 2 for my girls and 1 for my oldest girls boy friend. He is paying me back. But I have a monsterbow coming one day lol.
So the ads is a good place to look. Just like stores after season is over. I picked you 4 dozen easton arrows for under 75 dollars at Dick's sporting goods.
