What to wear

edited August 2003 in General Discussion
A man called to testify at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), asked his accountant for advice on what to wear.

"Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let him think you are a pauper," the accountant replied.

Then he asked his lawyer the same question, but got the opposite advice. "Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your most elegant suit and tie."

Confused, the man went to his Priest, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution of the dilemma.
"Let me tell you a story," replied the Priest.

"A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. 'Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.' But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your navel."

The man protested: "What does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?!"

"Simple", replied the Priest..."It doesn't matter what you wear, you are going to get screwed!"

    Make sure the tux has a game pouch on the back. Handy for the dozens of birds you'll get.

    You can get a cheap one at Wally Mart....

    here is a link on what to wear: http://www.orvis.com/intro.asp?dir_id=&Group_ID=&subject=366&adv=10198

    As Terry Wieland points out in his excellent article,"Dressed for the Sport," (Shooting Sportsman, January/February 2001) as intimidating as British-shooting accoutrements might look, there are few hard-and-fast rules. An appealing mix of tradition and practicality governs everything else regarding dress."The aristocratic British gunner in tweeds and tie is a favorite target for cartoonists on both sides of the Atlantic. In America the fact that a British shooter habitually wears a jacket and tie is held up as evidence of eccentricity, if not decadence. But the fact is, the UK shooter's choice of clothing in eminently practical and highly refined for the conditions under which he shoots. What's more, the nuances of proper shooting attire are almost as arcane as the fitting of a custom game gun. This is based no on snobbery, but on practicality. "Contrary to popular belief, there is no real proper or improper dress, within reason. For the vast majority of driven shoots, a "gun" is expected to look presentable, but it is more important that he be dressed to cope with the weather. In that case, the guiding principle is that if it is not raining right now, it either was recently or soon will be. A secondary principle is: Whatever the weather, shooters will be out in it. European and British shooters do not like to be cold and wet any more than anyone else, so their clothing is designed to cope with almost any conditions while allowing the wearer to shoot comfortably and freely at all times. Marrying these various principles is not easy, but through the course of 150 years of sartorial evolution, tailors and outfitters have arrived at an approach that is both elegant and amazingly functional."

    ...seriously, you may want to check to see if your state requires hunter orange. Good luck.

    Just avoid loud colors.I wear camo shirts and jeans and sit in a foldout chair with my cooler. The most important thing is to stay still til the bird is in range. Those buggers can turn on a dime at 90mph.Thats why I love it.

    Don't go all out. Jeans and a camo shirt will do you just fine.

    It's a dog-eat-dog world...and nine times out of ten I have on Milk-Bone underwear.
