I’ve got 2 pairs of sawbucks, wish they were full legged, front and back. Sure you’ll like em

Did a little turkey hunting yesterday and ended up walking through the corner of 2 clearcuts. My Sitka Timberlines now have a bunch of fabric snags and my legs look like I had no pants on.
So - what hunting brush pants you guys wearing? I don't want the classic canvas pants - have them. Looking for something that I can wear turkey hunting and scouting.
First lite Sawbuck look interesting and about what I have in mind.
Options and thoughts? First Lite is local to me. I have a pair of Sawbucks and they're not a bad product, just don't have the fit/design I prefer. I've worn for years all over the world and can highly recommend Fjallraven Trekking Trousers in their G-1000 material. They have half a dozen or so lines with several design options in each. Kebs or Barents with a set of custom knee high Turtleskin Gaiters are pretty much what live in my travel pack. Fjallraven G-1000
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

I have the sawbucks and like them, but the fit is not great. I haven’t purchased the Kuiu yet but they look like an upgrade. I’ll definitely have a pair of them by the fall. When rifle season comes around I will generally be wearing brush pants for most of my hunting.
Another option is 5.11 Stryke pants. I’ve worn them a lot in clear cuts around home as well as to Mexico to hunt Coues deer. Not as heavy as something with a cordura front but they’re damn near indestructible. Finally wore my first pair out after 7-8 years.

Nice looking deer! Jeans are fine but they definitely wouldn’t be my choice for spring turkey hunting when it is hot.

Years ago I had beagle rabbit dogs. Hunted them often and some of the.places we hunted were mostly sawbriars, green briars, and blackberry thickets. You didn't walk into that without brush pants or you were covered in bleeding scratches. We wore pants that had cordura facing. The brands back then were Redhead or Duxbak. Different than what is sold under those names now. If I was looking for true brush pants now I would look at a coon hunting supply company.

I have the FL Sawbucks and thus far have been very happy with them.

I got the KUIU Pro Brush. Almost perfect for what I do, but not quite. I’ve talked to them but doubtful they adjust them. They are like my house and don’t have ballroom. Complicated by having too many seams culminate in same area. Easy for them to adjust but doubtful. Another small item is the extra leg pockets are too deep and allows items to bang off the kneecap, especially uphill. Thirdly, they need to make odd sizes. 32 is snug and 34 falls off in this pant. I’ve got a pair of Kutana arriving today. Will give them a run.
I got the attack and a great pant. Just won’t take any thorns. They snag and pull on brush you don’t even see. They are warm also.

Nice looking deer! Jeans are fine but they definitely wouldn’t be my choice for spring turkey hunting when it is hot. Understand. Figure I can work in them when it's 100 degrees......plus I usually just hunt in whatever I got on that day. My typical hunts usually happen while I'm out an about and hardly ever planned. And...camo and these fancy brands are just too dang expensive!
