Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What kind of hat do you wear hunting?

Had to finally replace my old tin hat this year.

Damn near died when I went to Filson to order another one and it was 47.00 bucks including shipping. If it lasts as long as the other one did it will be worth it.

What do you wear in the woods?

camo boonie or a orange ball cap. I like the full brim hats best.

I wear my lucky realtree cap. If the wind is blowing Ill wear a beanie.

My favorite is a wool "Deer Stalker" (like Sherlock Holmes wore) that I picked up in the Chelsa district of London. Got to admit that I look a little funny when I'm hunting in an state that requires fluorscent orange on your hat and I have to pin orange surveyors tape to it.

an orange Pheasants Forever hat is my staple until it gets too cold. Then a stormy kromer.

Allen97, that thing is downright hideous!

The one pictured cost $298.00 The one I have I picked up on sale but it still came to about $75 US.

But it does have the advantage of a deer never knowing which way you are looking.

Warmer temps--Standard ol' orange ballcap.

Cold temps--Stormy Kromer.

An Blaze Orange one, it's the law here !

A green Lite Felt hat and a Hunter�s Orange Lite Felt hat both came from Cabela�s years ago. The green one has been around so long it has faded from dark green to light green, 15 to 20 years.

This old cap has lots of mojo and has been on my head for most of my deer.

For big game here in New Mexico, a camo ball cap or an undyed Resistol with a four-inch brim, depending on the weather. For big game in Colorado, a hunter orange Remington ball cap or a Cabelas with ear flaps. For upland game, a Pointing Dog Journal hunter orange cap.

I somehow attract caps and hats and have no telling how many stashed around the house, stored in boxes or adorning the varipis hat racks that we have scattered about.

Warm weather...

Soft ball cap, camo orange if required, otherwise regular camo. Sometimes a boonie, especially if raining.

Cold weather...

Knit wool stocking cap, same orange or camo, depending on what I'm hunting.

Never saw much need to perch a couple hundred bucks on top of my head.

I have one some where but in more muted greens..For use on the open hill it is very practical with the peak at the back meant to stop the rain running down your the back of your neck..Being weed you have the advantage of wool, plus if the appropriate patter/colour is chosen, its pretty much a form of cammo..

I bought this hat a couple months ago and wear it for work/walking around the hills. Skin cancer runs in the family so a guy needs to be careful.

This might also work great for hunting, it's one of those dorky looking fishing hats. Of course you may want to turn it around...

You just didn't what to know what sort of swill you were about to drink, Right?

Waxed Jones cap. If it looks to be wet, I wear the newer one that is still quite stiff, and if wet doesn't look to be a factor, I wear the older one that has gone floppy. (Matches the rest of me better anyway.) For fishing, I usually wear a boonie. It keeps the sun off my ears, and when it is really hot, it holds just the right amount of lake water to dump over my head. The correct amount is such that you can feel it soaking the whole back of your shirt and just the least bit trickles down to your crack.

I tell you what, nothing is better than a cooler full of ice cold Bud Light on a hot day out on the water.
Notice I didn't say cooler full of beer....Beer is good for cooler weather, when it's hot Blue and Silver cans rule!

When the weather is warm, I wear either some sort of baseball cap or a Florida Fisherman's style cap if I need sun protection on the back of my neck and for my ears.
For cold weather, I've got a Patagonia fleece cap with a short bill to shade my eyes.
For really cold weather, a thin fleece cap and a Cabela's Baclava. E

The same one I wear every day after buying 10,000 Saw's,it seems..But they are free!!!
