Why do most houndsmen not wear camo?
Just wondering, none of my bear hunting friends wear camo during the kill season either. Mostly jeans or carharts. I wear camo because all my warm clothes are hunting clothes.
My Dad says houndsmen (my Grandpa was a coon/bear hunter with dogs) are a tough breed and aren't affected by the cold like most people. And they wear those Carharts because they last for years, saves money.
When I show up to hunt with my hound buddies, they all look at me funny. Maybe I look like a walking Cabela's Catalog???
I may wear some Carharts and jeans this yr so I fit in better. Still won't make me a houndsman will it?

IN 90% of hunting situations, Camo is a joke. It's the biggest scam on the market. It's not the animals eye's that usually bust you, it's his nose. And since there isn't a product on the market today that can cover your breath and body odor, you're wasting your time with camo if you think it is helping you from being detected.

Houndsmen don't wear camo, because they don't need to. So why pay the extra $, when it's just going to get all beat to crap anyway. Besides houndsmen as a whole are fairly cheap. You have to be because the dogs themselves cost you major coin. Not to mention all the gear.
I've got a camo jacket that I wear cat hunting and in the winter. But's that's because it's warm and waterproof. When you walk in the brush after a fresh snow you better have a hooded jacket and it better be able to shed water. Otherwise you'll be drenched, and you just might be anyway.
