Yesterday,,,,, Thanksgiving,,,,
Our annual Thanksgiving bird hunt and holiday toast with good family friend Jerry, my brother, and my dad, got canceled because it was pouring rain. So I showered quickly and grabbed the smoothrifle to go check my game camera and sit my blowdown blind near that tree stand.
I knew it was later than I should be heading in, but this time of year, and in the rain, one never knows....
And I really wanted to check that camera not having been there in a while....
Being in a rush, I dressed modern, but, with the rain, brought the new orange matchcoat,,,,, what a great item,,
My leg and anything not under the matchcoat got soaked. But, it did a great job of keeping my torso, bag & horn, kit bag, and lock dry. It was almost too warm...
The above is copied and pasted from a text conversation with 2 forum members yesterday so please forgive the oddities, punctuation and all that.
Temps were in the upper 40s low 50s but windy and rainy. Combined with and underarmor undershirt and fleece sweatshirt, I was actually too warm, especially when moving.
I'll try to add some pictures later.
