GILLE SUIT
EVER WEAR YOUR GILLE SUIT INTO TOWN
SURE TO GET SOME LONG LOOKS, EVEN QUESTIONS FROM LITTLE KIDS LIKE; DID YOU GET HIT BY A CAR? OR DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD CLOTHES AT HOME?

Re: GILLE SUIT
Pete, you need to go to your User Control Panel and click on Profile. From there click on Edit Avatar ( if that's what you want this picture for). I don't remember what other steps you'll need to take from there, but I figured it out so it can't be that hard. When I wore my suit to town I had trouble getting cars to yield to me when I was in the crosswalk and a dog peed on me otherwise no problems, why do you ask?

Best take a tin cup with you. It gives people a place to put their pennies in when they mistake you for a hobo.

No one seems to notice much but I did get run over by a lawn mower when I took a nap in the park.

I wear "urban" camo. That way they can't see me coming.

Re: GILLE SUIT
I don't even wear one while hunting, because I am worried that some fool, (if they did see me) might not relize that I am a human and throw a shot at me. The locals may not be used to seeing someone in a getup like that.

Haven't worn a Ghillie suit since Army days. Can't See a reason for it now.

Trust me you dont want one the only reason I am making one is they are great for hunting yotes. Other then that they are hot heavy and a pain in the tail. But this topic has been a lot of fun so thanks for posting it.

Re: GILLE SUIT
Thanks they like getting out and shooting when the weather is nice and there arn't cartoons on TV. We got some snow it is supposed to be a high of 6 later in the week. There is some property to the east of me that is full of dogs need to get a hold of the owner so I can wack a few of them.plinkin pete wrote:Good looking family, great to see young ones into shooting.
