Default What you wear.. Part deux

After reading the post by LT..It got me curious. I agree with BigJ on many points and the rest of you on many points!

Does anyone else hunt after a full workday?? I mean yes, on a weekend or vacation, I shower with the no scent soap and follow as many precautions as I can. BUT most of the season I'm sneaking ina few hours (depending on time change sometimes much less) after work. If I drive home shower...blah..blah blah..drive to hunting spot, sneak in ..it would be dark by the time I got there!

Many days are spent with work-clothes on after a frantic drive, straight to my hunting spot..spray down with favorite scent killer.throw on a scent-lok suit(YES GULP>>SCENTLOK) rubber boots, scentlok face, glovesmask, spray down again and go hunt!

Now granted I usually hunt my "worktime" fringestands for these occassions and elect not to go to core areas. But I see deer..I have not seen my sightings change based on prep time. I see bucks I see does..I see turkey and coyotes..so maybe a lot of it is overkill?

I see so many guys say I NEVER go to the woods without..________ (insert all details here..)if I did that my season would be cut by 75%.

That's hunting in the real world for the working man!
