Happy Monday, friends! So, this post may come as a little bit of a shock – a random “shopping” post, if you will. But, I just couldn’t resist passing along some of the great hunting, fishing, and general outdoor apparel/gear sales going on around the interweb. Got a travel bug? Got you covered. Need an update to your well-word duck hunting gear? Look no further. Heading out for a fun fall skeet shoot? It can be 85* or 55* on a fall day around here – Layer up! Girls – there is some great stuff out there for hunters AND non-hunters alike! So, just what am I looking for this year?
When I go to Argentina, I am the only female around for the majority of the day. While I am not a pink camo-wearing hunter (Just stop. I can’t even…), I don’t enjoy looking like I stole hunting clothes from my dad’s closet and tried to make them work. I also think there is something to be said for the “smartness” of more structured hunting attire vs. an old camo t-shirt and running shorts. [Disclaimer – I do wear exactly that 90% of the time, admittedly.] The outfit above at least keeps me more presentable, while serving its needed purpose as appropriately light-weight for dove hunting. As for the shoes – packing for a week of hunting in a carry-on is easier than you think, but you still don’t want to lug around heavy hunting boots. These are a great go-to when you need a “hybrid” tennis shoe/boot.
I know this is a man’s shirt, but those can often look better than the ones offered for women. I tend to run into the sizing issue with the length of my arms and torso – I’m a tall one. By the time I get a woman’s shirt with enough length, I am typically swallowed by the rest of it. A man’s small or extra small is quite often the way to go. Pair a light-weight linen shirt and vest with some jeans and boots, and you’ll be off to a skeet shoot or oyster roast looking good without even trying.
