Kilted hunting

[yoippari]

Well, around here it is law that you wear at least some orange. I think that archery season you can go full camo but all other seasons you must be visible to other hunters. And I don't plan on hunting from a tree stand. I do a lot of walking. Walking and standing around waiting for other people to flush deer out of a thicket (thats how I got my first deer). So if they make some of that digital camo in different shades of orenge I would be set.

Actually hunting tartans seem to blend in well enough with the local vegitation. Except for the black part, my black stewart blends well with certain bushes this time of year. The tartan isn't that much of a concern, it is mostly an issue of will I ruin a kilt by wearing it while walking through black berry bushes (chaps/leggings would be helpful here) or while crawling through bushes.

And the bear are not here, yet... Because of certain laws (no hunting with dogs) predator hunting has seen a large decline and bears have gotten into the edge of town in the portland area. I remember a story from a couple of years ago about a family in astoria that saw a mointain lion swipe either a small dog or a cat off their back porch.

edit: have you seen the OSU tartan? Orange, black, and a little white, should be bright enough for the law and it is probably broken up enough that deer wont look and run at the first sight of it.
