Now away back when its said the forest was park like n I can believe it after seeing areas browsed off by too many deer. Everything from about 5 or 6 foot down is pretty much eaten away. Reason I brought this up is back east here I've found that with the brush, green briars, multiflora rose etc anything long n dangling on your person or equipment ends up being a real pain in the a@@, the brush constently grabs hold of it n tries to tear it off your sholder or away from ya in some way. Now this may not be a factor out west but ya may want to think about it east of the Big Muddy.Most guys I know or have run with keep everything high n tight to the body with no extra wangs, straps, fancy braids etc hanging off anything on their bags, horns or cloths. All the fancy decorations sure look pretty at vous or the range but drive ya crazy trying to go cross country n brush busting when hunting. Just some thoughts when designing stuff ya carry.
