Kilted Hunting

[flairball]

I haven't yet hunted while wearing my kilt, but I'm considering wearing it while tracking during the firearms deer season. I might wear it pass shooting waterfowl too, but as for Grouse and Woodcock hunting, I think brush pants are more appropriate for stomping around in the thick stuff behind my English Setter.

Ahh yes "Indian Summer" a great time to partake in all sorts of outdoor activities.

I've been deer hunting with my muzzleloader since last Saturday (Nov 4). I haven't worn my kilt, because, since I,m hunting from tree stands, i wear a safety harness. It would make wearing the kilt uncomfortable because the harness straps around the waist, chest, and around each thigh.

That makes sense. I always disliked being up in a tree stand (which attitude has probably contributed to my lousy success rate!). I prefer a comfortable seat on the ground, and wrapping up in a great kilt will add to the comfort factor. Plus (like the historic highlanders of old), I can flip a corner of the plaid over the gun lock to protect it from the elements....

I gave up on hunting the second year I ever went because the only thing I ever came back with was chickenpox.

I suppose if I were to take it up again, I would certainly try it kilted.

I've hunted solely with muzzleloaders since 1992. Only used flintlocks since 2000. Haven't hunted kilted though once I get back to the states I may give it a whirl. I hunt strickly from the ground also and have had pretty good success year to year. Take care in the woods.

YMOS,

I have hunted in the deli at the local market while kilted. Does that count? I am too squeamish to hunt. I leave that to those that can and apprediate those who can and do.

I fish the same way
I love doing all things outdoors. Hunting is not a favorite of mine. Stalking for the experience of it is fun, however. But killing it is for someone else. I love eating properly hunted food!!

I'm planning on it. I went hunting in a kilt last year, the 13oz was a little light so this year I'm upgrading to a heavier weight.

I feel the same way about stand huntin'. I dont like heights. So I do the same thing and find a nice spot on the ground, next to a BIG tree for protection and wrap up like a burrito. I stay cozy and warm in my wool while waiting for the venison steaks to walk by.

I do my hunting with a digital SLR and 70-300mm lens. Used to hunt for meat but gave that up years ago when I found out that I just wasn't that good of a shot. :rolleyes: Now fishing is another story.

My plaid is too lightweight as well, a concern I have about using it this weekend. I've been eyeing these 16 oz. ones for months. Now I wish I'd bought one:
