Both the PH's I hunted with were pretty insistent that I wear shorts, as they were/are of the opinion that thorns/brush make less noise on skin as opposed to clothing. Fine by me, even if it's a non issue in that regard. I would have roasted in long pants. I'm pretty well acclimated to a cool environment. When it breaks 65F I sweat!

After the first couple of stalks, the blood and scabs helped to break up/camouflage my legs, which are similar in color to the white side of a halibut.
