BJ,
Not to be anal about this still hunting thing, but I want to get my understanding right, not just sort of right! A few follow up questions:
------------------------
3. Mocassins: Cover the distance in the Danners and then pull the mocassins out of your back pack and switch if things are noisy and you're approaching a good stalking area? Don't know squat about mocassins! Any mocassin tricks? How calloused do you feet have to be for them to be comfortable - something you got to work at a bit? Socks - No Socks? What degree of padding in them? How tight/loose a fit? What seperates a "tourist trap mocassin from a BJ special?
------------------------
5. Quote: "I like huntin' margins atwixt the black timber an' a burn, or some quakies an' meadows." Does this mean "A" or "B"?

"A": Margin between black timber and a burn -- Margin between black timber and some quakies -- Margin between black timber and a meadow.....

OR does it mean....

"B": Margin between black timber and a burn -- Margin between some quakies and meadows.

Worried because I have still hunting in quakies as being a nixed from #2 Getting seen in the open, plus the aspen leaves make it too noisey - or is there an exception to the rule (beyond common sense).
---------------------
6. I've seen white and red long handles. Are "green long handles" just as its name suggests or a "slang" term for olived drab wool pants and wool shirt like what you can get at the Army Surplus Store?

Don't pretend when there's things you don't know!

Good judgment comes from bad experience! Half of elk hunting is knowing what NOT to do!
