Squirrel Hunting Attire

[snakebit]

Camo t-shirts for $4, Federal shotgun shells, Red Man for 55 cents...

Still have my woodland camo vest from K-Mart. It's shrunk some over the years, and the elastic is dry rotted on the shell holders. Probably still some beggars lice on it too. Sentimental I suppose.

I used to chew the he!! Outta Red Man totems if anyone remembers them.

Simpler times maybe? My copy should be here early next week.

I go naked. Easier to find ticks that way.

Easier for you or them?

A good squirrel hunter will try to be as inconspicuous as possible.

We can clearly see your nuts....

With relatives in the military in the '60s, us budget minded young squirrel hunters had a steady supply of oversized OD Green attire. I still have a couple of the "shirts" which we used as jackets. Damn if they don't still fit.

I kinda miss the old time Army Surplus stores. I remember getting the used woodland camo pants for 3'bucks, and the shirts for 2. Used of course, but as a preteen squirrel hunter, I thought I was doing big things. Not to mention they are just useful garments, lots of pockets.

Just earth tones for me. Squirrels definitely shy away from yellow and white.

The only camo I own is stuff that was given to me or that I got on super sale not cause it's camo but cause it was cheap.

I miss Kmart...

Blue light special store.

Blue light special store.

Yep. And in a pinch you could take the family there for Thanksgiving dinner in the Kmart diner way back in the day.
