Sacrificial pants

I hunt 5-7 mornings per week.
Houndstongue and beggarticks seeds are the norm.

So I wear a cheap pair of Froggs Toggs rain pants that I sacrifice as a shredded pair of pants
after a couple months of hunting.

The cheap rain pants are quiet, lightweight and waterproof.
At the truck, I simply take the pants off and turn them inside out so the weed seeds
are not in my regular lightweight pants.
Also if I start with frost that warms up to dew, not a problem.

I wore the frog togs for rainy day turkey hunting with just underwear underneath until I squatted down and ripped the crotch out. WHEW.. That was chilly walk back to the truck. I do still wear the tops. Very light weight and waterproof but no pockets.
 
Frogg Toggs are also great cold weather gear. Wind proof and waterproof so they trap your body heat in. A t shirt with a Frogg top and my light canvas hunting coat and I am good down till it's too cold for the dogs( which i found this last year is 10 below).
 
"Sacrificial pants" sounds a bit like my Monday morning. It starts out I was out of milk to make my oatmeal (I forgot to grab some Sunday). I put a large paddy of pheasant breakfast sausage in a skillet, luckily I t didn't have the heat past medium, got distracted and it got cooked well-done. Then, I had my high-tech electric smoker pulled out and a pork butt seasoned and ready to smoke. I added the apple wood chips, the water, go to start it and I then see I need a password to operate this machine. One can't operate this thing without using the phone app (forgot about that, I am seeing a trend here) and I have no idea what that is, it is in my old daily planner and that is at my work place. So, into the oven with it. It turned out fine. Lastly, while I was crouched-down, placing the woodchip smoke box, I hear something and feel my pants relax...the butt torn out. I decided I wasn't changing and went hunting. Those ventilated hunting pants were great out in the sub 40 temps. When I returned home I did accidentally remembered I needed milk and while standing in line to check-out at the Dollar General (mini Walmart), a fella behind me asks if I had been digging through his dumpster as he "just threw-out a pair of pants like those". That was nice, he was actually my neigbor...in a small town, about everyone in the town can be called your neighbor. Got home, the dog and I showered, he rolled on a dead raccoon right before we finished, and in the trash those "sacrificial pants" went. I did bring my 3 birds home, so it was a great morning.

Back on topic, I just wear denim jeans, with one of 2 pairs of chaps or a new to me pair of jeans with the nylon lowers on them. Not much to worry about for seeds hitch-hiking or moisture.

I don't like the noise with chaps or nylon lowers. I try to hunt solo as silently as I can, that is why I prefer the soft and quiet (and cheap) frogg toggs.

I'm putting a 👎 on morning hunters.
