Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Coveralls vs seperate bibs/parka?

Hunting there, yes. Seeing deer, no. Haha. Have been up there four weekends in the past three years and have yet to see a deer on the property. I've been up early rifle and late. The area definitely has deer, as we hear shots around us every time.

Eh, either way, its always a great weekend with family and we have a lot of fun. So definitely worth it in my book.

Well....some people are full of more XXXX than others. That would explain that.

This reminds me of a sad moment in my life, the day I waited to long to climb down the ladder. I had plenty of warning, but I figured that I had plenty of time. In fact, I envisioned a mid-morning hike from the stand to the outhouse at the edge of our family campground about a 1/4 mile away. I put it up year 2 of our stay at the farm. Besides being close to the campground it's also in situated between several deer hunting venues.

All of a sudden, getting down the ladder was an immediate necessity. I was wearing coveralls that day. I managed to get them off and . . .

Bottom line: I had to radio back to the house. KYHillChick was told to bring a leaf bags and some beach towels. I rode back to camp in complete ignominy and took a shower.

I like the bibs/coat set up myself. Coveralls are just too restricting.

I usually have a fairly heavy sweater or two on underneath the bib suspenders. This is so when you take the coat and suspenders off to drop the bibs to take a dump you are still fairly warm.
