Default When do you put on your hunting clothes?

Simple poll with only 3 questions. Feel free to tell how and what you do before and after reaching the stand site when it comes to putting on your camo, using scent control, etc.

I dress after parking: I was told that fumes from inside the car and obviously at home will get on your clothes so I have just done that ever since.

For me it varies, either at Home or where I park. It wouldn't make sense to me to change at the stand

Default RE: When do you put on your hunting clothes?

I usually get dressed after I park. Mostly, anyway. I wear my first layer or two then blue jeans and a shirt over those. This year, however, I will wear my first layer or two then a set of uninsulated coveralls that have been washed in scent free detergent over them. I'll strip those off and put my outer layers on then...

Default RE: When do you put on your hunting clothes?

combination of two choices for me ...... when I park I put on some, depending on temp, I then pack in the rest of my clothing, as I have an uphill mile walk .....

At the stand makes sense if you are only putting on the last layer at the stand so you don't work up a heavy sweat while on your way to the stand.


I have done this in the past with GREAT succes.


I marked after parking because that is the norm for me.

Sometimes more than just the last layer for me ..... I walk through mostly field, so I move ..

Default RE: When do you put on your hunting clothes?

If I was in a more populated area I would be arrested.
I always dress after parking my truck , trying to stay about 30 feet or so upwind of it. And I mean I put everything on. I strip down ( standing on a 2 ft square piece of rubber) from my driving clothes and put on my base layers and outer layers that are stored in a SL duffel bag.
It gets a lille chilly sometimes, but i feel it's worth the trouble.
