Cotton gets wet and once wet it loses any insulation qualities (if any) and believe me being in the Alpine in wet clothes is not a place to be. Another thing to remember is for hunting (sambar) cotton is very noisy going through bush. Wool retains its insulative qualities even when wet. I will suggest that quality fleece is about best overall for the Vic winter bush hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I hunt I find wearing less the better and it doesn't seem to effect the outcome of deer in the freezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balltearer Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Here we are back in `83-`84 (iirc) in the King on the last hunt for the year over the hounds. The note was for stirring up his bro in law,he went all the way back to the ute to get the cardboard..keen. Mick wore Speedo`s every hunt with only a swanni over the top, we hunted 28 weekends in a row in those days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
