Blast from the past II

Enjoyed your story and yes seems that everything in that area, sticks, bites, scratches or cuts. Nice Buck for sure! It's always a great day when you can harvest some meals on hoofs!
 
My friend bought some of the pricey camo from Cabelas. I buy my used military camo from Goodwill. I've tried that lightweight polyester/nylon stuff, but when you're sliding down a steep rocky slope on your but, that cotton canvas holds up great. And military pants are doubled in the butt area. New ones are also insect repellant. The Sitka stuff makes sense in really wet country because it drys fast, but here in NM, it isn't needed. BDU is the old school term, now they call it ACU for Army Combat Uniform. The new shirts made for wearing under body armour are great for hot weather hunting.
