I wear blue jeans 365 days of the year. Three things are true about me hunting in blue jeans. 1- I hunted in them last year 2- I hunted in them this year and 3- I'll hunt in them next year. However they are dangerous. Anybody who has ever worn blue jeans while hunting will eventually die.

They call me...Denim man! As always, my identity is secret because of my bad assness. IIRC, in Arabic, "Denim Man" spelled out resembles a skull and crossbones.

Jeans rule, but what do I know I'm old. I got a lecture this fall from a guy who has way too much money( he suffers from the belief that being rich makes him smart about all things) he was dressed from head to toe in the latest high tech trendy stuff and seemed to feel sorry for me because I was so stupid to hunt elk in Levis and a stetson.

MagMarc:
When the weather is warm and dry, you can wear anything you like.
We have color vision but most game animals have traded color vision for improved night vision. So wearing blue trousers makes no difference.
But when it's cold and wet and you have only an unheated tent to return to, denim blue jeans can be miserable.

I grew up in blue jeans but when the weather turns cold and wet I love my wool pants. Less noise than blue jeans as well.

I LOVE that wonky kudu..man without a face! Man without a face! I like it. I really couldn't tell you why but I can't stand to have my face on the internet and have no good reason to explain why. I like the Kudu too. Thanks. When I told my PH I really liked uniqueness, he joked about the bull that had not been spotted for 2 years on a 20,000 hectacre property. It took us 2 days but we found him. I was estatic and my PH had bragging rights with the other PHs. He will be right next to this buck I killed back in high school. I was wearing BLUE JEANS when I got him and he was shot with ( gasp) a .22-250!!!

Only in designer jeans. Levis and Wranglers are so low brow. Do you prefer the plain pockets of Dolce & Gabbanna or the gold stitching available on True Religion brand jeans? I dig Armani, for the name cachet, but I gotta admit that Ralph Lauren jeans look good in photos with dead elk. I'm seeing posts from dry country. Here's an invitation to typical off road elk hunting on the Olympic Penninsula: On any day of the WA State general elk season, wear jeans and join me in a jaunt from the ridge top road down to the Matheny River and back. We'd do it in two hours. That MIGHT influence the choice of clothes for a second such trip, but probably not: reality has no cred on the internet! Added: I love jeans and have shot quite a bit of game while wearing them. A rule of thumb: if a climate is dry enough to grow pine, jeans will do in most weather.

not uncommon for me to wear jeans or better yet a pair of key imperial bibs when hunting decent weather and/ or close to home...
i do like my wools for the cold stuff though...

Was guiding a bowhunt on the plains earlier this year and my hunter was shocked when I wore blue jeans. He was not a happy hunter as we began our stalk and I hadnt put camo on. Long story short, he missed the buck at 22 yards and did not offer any more criticism on my wardrobe the rest of the hunt

and i been doing most of my coyote calling in white tyvek coveralls... i wear a pair of synthetic thermals underneath, and a fleece sweater with 2 zip pockets for my wallet and stuff... pretty windproof, halfway waterproof, and cheap... i get 2-3 days use per pair, generally, if i avoid the multiflora rose...
