[Cabela]

Bought a Hooded jacket from Cabela's (America) just over a week ago. Mossy Oak 3D light weight hooded jacket. Didnt take long to delivery at all and am very happy with it.

Postage is 20% of total order or $20 (which ever is more), so it can work out pretty expensive.

I got this jacket for $107 (after postage and our recently sh*tty aus dollar)

Ended up buying some scrim to cover gun/face/bino etc...

Obviously im wearing my work pants and not my aus cam

I think I need to get one for my dog, she stands out to much

I would recommend Cabela gear.... even if its just for the bling

[Gun Safe?]

$250 for a 4 gun, gun safe down here

[Purchasing A Compass]

Now to track down a map of the Mount Disappointment Area, any ideas?

Thanks again for the advice.

I have a Rooftops map for that area, its fine. I bought mine from a outdoors type shop at Highpoint shopping center. They have maps for all of victoria and most of australia.

[Purchasing A Compass]

Its a compass.... it either works or it doesnt yeah? I paid $10 for mine... seems to point to north lol

Just buy one that works, DONT spend like $30 on one, its a waste IMO

[What Camo Gear Do You Use?]

Why would you purchase winter and warm weather camo? All im going to do is buy light weight camo. If it gets cold just wear it over a warm jumper. Save some coin that way.

Before I go out stalking dear with a rifle and full camo for the first time, I will be heading out on my own (maybe +1) and walk around some spots. See if I can find some deer or signs of deer.

This is a stupid question, but do you guys use a compass? How do you not get lost in unfamiliar forest?

[What Camo Gear Do You Use?]

Thanks for the replys. I love the look of the 3D gilli suit... Will look into them a little more.

[What Camo Gear Do You Use?]

My dad has been hunting (although not recently) deer for many yrs and has not once ever used any piece of camo gear. I am now interested in stalking a deer for myself and really like the look of all the gear you can purchase. Is it needed these days (for some reason) or is it more of a fashion statement (if ya know what I mean).

Also, even if its NOT needed I still want to get some camo pants. But..... which pattern/style would be best for hunting in VIC forests? Normal aus army pattern or something more specialised?

any help appreciated

P.S Realtree camo gear looks amazing
