I have caught more crap over that hat......[>:]

Ya' ll may know that I am not a big advocate of camo. Nothing against it, but I think it' s a lot like fishing lures--intended more for fooling the consumer, not the game. The wool overalls were borrowed (then purchased--they were too big for him) from Tom. That North wind about cut me in half! Cold is no problem, that wind was! Notice how faded the long-sleeve under the overalls is--had it for years. The only lightweight long-sleeve I could find at the time. It was covered, along with the top portion of the overalls, by a grey wool vest (also borrowed from Tom). I had a tan and green plaid flannel shirt on most of the time also--had to shed a bunch of stuff after the excitement got to me!

Now, for the hat. I got the idea when in Bass Pro Shops in Memphis a while back. They sell a " kit" that contains these plastic leaves and safety pins for making your own camo into a " leafy" suit--think it was around $5. I think that many, if not most of the times I got picked out by a deer was because of my head. If you had been busted as many times as me, you' d try anything too! Btw, those " leaves" came from the craft dept. at Wal-Mart--.88 cents if I remember correctly, and a box of safety pins was cheap also. I didn' t worry about matching the leaves to my outfit (as if that were possible), I just wanted something to break up the outline of my noggin. On this deer, it didn' t make any difference--he never looked up, but you never know..............
