Yep, never ending! grin

I wear jeans in good weather when I go back East to hunt Idaho or Montana or Colorado. For a Colorado hunt the original poster will likely do fine in jeans.

I wore jeans picking berries on a sunny day last week in Roosie country and aside from being a little binding on steps steeply uphill, they are great. And being wet from thigh down from all day dew etc. cools the legs as the day warms up.

It's a good idea to pay attention to the locals who hunt an area and follow their lead on things like what to wear.
