Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Blue Jeans and hunting?

In the interest of fair chase, I always give the game animal an advantage because I am armed with a Griffin & Howe 275 Rigby

Jeans are about all I wear anyway. I HAVE been dragged (kicking and screaming) into more expensive jeans as of late, but typically wear the same jeans hunting, on motorcycles, and out to decent places. I think I have an allergy to khakis.

hunsonora, the issue isn't camo or color for us wet coasters who usually eschew jeans for serious hunting -- it is wet. Forget the jeans, I don't even wear cotton skivvies for hunting wet country!

Sometimes I wear blue jeans and a sweat shirt, but onlt when I'm trophy "Texas" coues hunting...

I own lots of jeans, in lots of dark colors (wearing dark brown
Carhartt's today). I wear the new ones as everyday wear and the old/faded ones for outside work and hunting (also own a couple of pair of Wrangler camo jeans just for hunting.) I like the camo and dark colors when stump sitting or sitting on an open platform in a tree. If I am going to hunt in an enclosed tower stand or ground blind then the color doesn't make any difference.

It's not usually nice enough to deer hunt in jeans here in MN. That said, I shot my first buck while I was wearing blue jeans and a long sleve t-shirt.

I thought you had that GayFly look about you in the picture

That could be the funniest thing you've ever posted.

I nearly messed my drawers.

That's some funny schit, right there.

I'm cryin'.....

OK....YOU SUCK!!

Credit Steelhead with the concept, he came up with it the first time this subject matter came up..

never hunted without blue jeans

This one had a heart attack and jumped out of his skin when he saw my jeans.

MagMarc: Why, would you, wear blue jeans AND a camouflage upper garment?
Is it part of an inherent TL/contrary type personality?
That is the more important question I would like to hear a coherent answer to why a Hunter would wear bright blue jeans AND a camouflage upper garment?
Enjoy your TLP no one else does.
LOL!

Fashion police!

Golly, after all the other things I have to get right to hunt, now I have to make sure my shirt goes with my pants.

Simple. If you're hunting in tall grass or brush, you're upper body is exposed and you need a camo top. You're legs are hidden by the tall grass or brush.

If you're not hunting in tall grass or brush, it dosen't matter because the game animals don't read internet forums that tell them to be afraid of blue jeans.

And yes, I often hunt wearing jeans and a camo shirt or jacket, like for sheep hunting in Canada


or while hunting in Africa when I'm not wearing shorts


or when hunting at home, even in the snow


and I've been hunting in jeans for many years.

MagMarc is wearing jeans, a plaid shirt and a camo vest. Why?

Maybe he was cold enough to put on a vest.

I used to hunt in them all the time.
Guess I didn't know any better.
