Not to be the resident gun nut and drag things back from teh funnah (not to mention adressing posts that are 3+ years old)but...

SKS's aren't that uncommon at a deer rifle in the woods/brush. Ballistically the 7.62x39 is pretty close to a 30/30 and you used to be able to pick up an SKS for $100 or so.

As for the evil black rifle (ie the M-16), AR-15 variants are VERY common out west as varmint rifles. Many coyotes at MANY, MANY ground squirrels have met their end from Stoner's most famous design.

Don't buy any of that scentlok crap, none of that works.

Try Cabelas, Basspro or sierratrading post.

Dress in layers, wicking first, no cotton. You lose heat through your head, hands and feet, keep them dry and warm. Performance fleece is light and warm. In reality camo patterns are for humans. Try to buy something that has lots of light and dark variations.

Good Hunting my friend. I spoke to my Ohio buddy today about the upcoming Ohio gun season. It can't get here fast enough for me.

frogg toggs? - Catalog

Jim, I really can't say enough about this stuff. It is very good at allowing the moisture to pass your body through the suit in wet/snowy weather.

Louisiana is a bitch for humidity, and on my hikes with Scouts in rain and 88% humidity, this stuff is so much better to be in than a traditional rain suit or pancho I can't even describe it.

I'd layer up with some wicking underwear, some synthetic pants and shirt, and then maybe some light wool if it gets cold. i don't know how much you are moving, or if you are taking an ATV to a tree stand and sitting.

But as a breathable outerlayer, I like this stuff, and the camo is nice looking. Link is to to catalogue.
