Snow Miser
I've never been big into hunting, but not by my own choice. My father has never been a hunter and thus, never took me.
Both my paternal grand father and great-grandfather were avid deer, duck, etc. hunters. I have been passed both their Remington Model 17 and Browning A-5 shotguns which I have yet to use as they need to be cleaned and have plugs put in them.
I have been dove hunting multiple times with my fiancee' and her family, as well as on one deer and duck hunt with her brother. I have loved every minute of it, despite my lifetime take from the wildlife of my state has been approximately 2 dove, 0 deer, and 0 duck. I'm bugging my brother in law to go some more this year, if for nothing else to serve as my "bachelor party".
I'm wanting to go more, and to be able to go whenever the opportunity arises. Weapons aren't an issue, but clothing is. I have little to no camo clothing, much less cold gear and waders to go duck and deer hunting when it's nice and frosty outside.
My question to you is this, for one such as me, a mere novice who hunts at the whim of others willing to take him, what kind of clothing should I invest in to make it easier on me to go, without having to locate other people's gear to borrow? (Never works out well because I'm bigger than everyone else.) I'm unsure as to what type of clothing I need, as well as the types of camo I need to get.
