Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A thread on hats

wore this hat quite a bit when guiding, it worked well for keeping rain outa face while trying to glass and outa the back of your neck due to the wide brim, but pretty well sucked when hauling meat out on a pack due to the stiffness of the brim, course wasn't that big a deal cause you got so hot packing meat, you didn't want anything on your head for very long, raining or not.









in recent years I've tried the Tilley, though it's not really stiff enough to keep heavy rain off of you, but it is nice that you can wad it up unlike the old oilskin I used in the above pix






though like most of you guys I often use ball hats of some variation for hunting too, and often wear one around town when the sun is shining brightly or more my hair is best left covered up (often, lol)
