Hell, I knew way back before a lot of you were born that you should not wear blue - anything. - 1966 Even my 1st cousin (on the right) had enough savvy.

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! I'm the same way. It's not the color that's the problem I just don't find jeans or cotton to be very comfortable to hunt in. I grew up in the southwest wearing nothing but Wranglers and they worked just fine there but here in south Louisiana I don't wear jeans much at all. During bow season it's still hot and humid sweatin your a$$ off and the cotton soaks it all up and doesn't dry out so I wear my regular work pants that are a poly blend. Then practically overnight it turns damp cold through the winter and I like to wear loose fitting clothes so I can layer up easier. I find regular old Army BDU's to be about the most comfortable and practical clothes to hunt in for the rest of the season.

If wearing jeans with a camo jacket is a fashion sin, VarmintGuy should be happy to know that I killed my biggest mule deer ever while wearing blue jeans AND a blue-denim jacket. The buck was so frightened that I got to look him over for a couple of minutes before shooting him as he fed at just about 200 yards.
Maybe it worked because I was standing half-behind a dead pine on a low ridge, so my blue clothes blended perfectly with the Big Sky of Montana.
I did wear a brown hat, however.

How many of you guys do it? I'm guilty! Never ever ever in my long-legged life! Well... as kids I guess. That's all we wore. Jeans just aren't the right fabric for here. If it is a day I can wear cotton pants, it won't be denim, it'll be more of a stiff canvas like Carhartts. And then there's the whole blue thing.................

Been led to believe here that one would instantly freeze to death in the dark if he wore jeans in the outdoors and got even moist. I'll go to wool pants and maybe long johns when it gets to about 20 below.

I think maybe Mule Deer is onto the start of the next big camo trend. Look at it this way. If you start with a new pair of blue jeans and a denim jacket, the trick is to find how many times to wash them and what with to match the color of your local variant of blue sky. You will have to experiment to find your own secret formula. When you get that done go get the biggest white cowboy hat you can find. You wear this getup and hunt on only the skyline of ridges. That way you blend totally with the sky and are invisible. The white hat will look like a small cloud just over the horizon. Call this Blue Ridgeline Cloud camo. We can modify this if we look at Jamison�s photo in his post above. Get a bit lighter hooded sweat shirt to replace the denim jacket, ditch the red and you become just a little bigger cloud on the horizon. Since Ingwe has already pointed out that the deer are going to be running like mad to escape the blue sky, they will see the little cloud of the Blue Ridgeline outfit and head for it as the nearest cover from the blue sky.

I'll go to wool pants and maybe long johns when it gets to about 20 below. My invitation to take a jaunt into the Matheny canyon in late Oct. or Nov. is still open: road to river and back, easily doable in a morning. I can all but guarantee it will be above freezing, probably well above, though it might be cold enough to have some snow. You wear jeans, and tell us all after the trip if they are still your first choice for such a hunt in those temps. We can have lunch at the Quinault Lodge after, or eat with a view of the ocean at Kalaloch. If you haven't experienced boggy swamp on a steep slope, you are in for a treat! No serious guff here, but it would be a fun excercise.
