Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game "Brush pants"

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

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

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.

LIBERTY DUCK CANVAS BIB OVERALS.

DONE.

I LOVE'UM.

Kuiu has some now. Excellent as always.

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.

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!

I still like Carhartt's the best. Not the most comfortable, but I am ok with that as it keeps the catclaw from my legs.
