Thread: Washing hunting clothes. (Real men can scroll on past)

Heavens... I have alot to learn. 60+ years of shooting and I've never dressed up once to go on a hunting trip!! Had no idea I had to have right soap suds too!! And its quite disappointing, but those bloody animals I've been shooting are no better educated than I am. Shot umpteen thousand of them up and down the country and not one has raised a paw or hoof and said "Not good enough mudz - you are not wearing the latest hunter fashions". Just bang, flop and they all fell down. Clearly they don't have any discernment or taste either...though the last 3 fallow on that last trip did taste very good!

But - a man must learn...and I must try. As soon as tailing is over down here and we're out shooting in north Canterbury, Tekapo, the McKenzie again, I'll take some H&F magazines with me, bookmark the fashion pages, and spread them round the hills and stations so all those bunnies, wallabies, deer etc can start to upspec on what hunters should be wearing, what suds we should be using. Probly only take a few months then next time I go to pull the trigger, that wallaby will stop, look at me, raise a paw, waggle it, complain I'm not wearing the right fashion lines - and there is a little fading with the camo jacket too. "You've got the wrong suds mudz.." I will likely look at him, accept his reproof, thank him humbly for standing still an extra 5 seconds to advise me, then shoot the little bastard.

Could be hard re-educating these old schoolers...
