If he was hunting rival crack dealers with a glock it is highly appropriate. Was it in a block of flats??

Nothing to do with the look, but I think their just no good for hunting! Too light for rough shooting, and not warm enough for decoying/flighting!

What bugs me is that people have their vision of what hunting should be and everyone has to conform to it , personally I don't care what people wear or do as long as it's leagal and there not bothering me

hathcock

nobody so far has addressed the issue of the impression created by someone wearing a tracksuit while brandishing a shotgun.

There could be a number of factors. He is only starting out, getting gear together and such. His gear could be in the wash and all he had to wear was a track suit.
He could be a knowledgeable hunter with lots of experience and doesn't care about what he looks like and what people think and conforming to stereo type.
He probably knows more than those twits walking around the Scottish hills in their tweed attire !
Remember the old saying ` you can`t judge a book by it`s cover

Actually they have, check out mackcons post above yours
Why would what someone is wearing have anything when out hunting to do with anyone else?
Do you think theres a problem with it?

unfortunately its the impression that only skangers wear tracksuits thats the problem,may not be entirely true but nonetheless first impressions last.

who would you rather see coming out over a gate on a country road if you were an ordinary member of the public,a lad in country clothing or a lad in a shellsuit,in other words a regular picture of country life or one of nidges crew?

During the summer I'd often were track suit bottoms and tshirt if weather is sunny. Only going for rabbits so not like is be going through rough ground.
During winter I'd have heavier clothes on often track suits underneath my trousers.
Whatever ya comfortable in I suppose.

Lets keep it right here lads tracksuits and runners dont belong in the hunting game and the people who wear them while hunting dont belong in it either, just look at any sport today and the participants are suitably dressed , football ,hurling, soccer ,tennis ,rugby ,martial arts,jockeys, the list is endless , so if we go down the route of tracksuits and runners and huddies its f***ed .

Was that post actual for real?
This is also how hunting clothes are to be worn.


Sorry but if I had to wear clothes like that I'd have to kick my own ass

That is a stupid comment. No one said he was wearing runners people only commented asking was he wearing runners and big white socks. Is everyone supposed to wear Camo out all the time or what? Or tweed if you like that kinda thing. I normally wear jeans and a t'shirt if the weather is ok and if it's not I'll have a jacket on. I wear this whatever shooting I'm doin be it deer pheasant pigeon or duck. It's what I'm comfortable in. I don't usually wear tracksuit bottoms but if I did I would wear them shooting and wouldn't care what people think

I think you missed the point i am making ,the huntsman in the picture, is as many people would agree dressed for his type of hunting ,so why would you have to kick your own ass ,most shooting men dress in camo gear or green or brown clothing ,i personally think tracksuits are not the right type of clothing for hunting or shooting my opinion only .

springer8

The track suits should be left in d gym lads. For the average member of the public the only time they see men in track suits with shotguns is when they are with sawn off shot guns and have balaclava's . The sport gets enough bad press as it is doesn't take much to dress more appropriate .. Combats and fleeces can be bought in penny's for €10

hathcock

one thing for sure is that if you were seen in any of the places I hunt wearing a tracksuit and holding a shotgun,landowners would be immediately suspicious and the law would be called,perfectly understandable I would contend.

welsummer

the answer to your question is.. if you were a stranger knocking on a farmers door looking for permission to shoot on his land, would you wear tracksuit and a hoodie.

This is gone a bit AWOL.
Why can't someone wear what they want when hunting. Obviously in winter most would wrap up but in summer time I do wear a tshirt and jeans or track suit.
Ground isn't wet and in the heat you'd be sweating like fcuk especially on my permission were it is all up hill.
Would yas moan about a hot blond girl wanting to hunt in stilettos, skirt and tank top ........be honest

iv been known to go for a ramble on a summer evening woth the shottie after a few rabbits wearing tracksuit bottoms and a teeshirt. I wear a suit to work every day and live in tracksuits outside work, mostly because im training every other day but I really couldn't care less about what people think of me or how I look. Im also very far from being a scanger.

Now dont gwt me wrong, if im actually heading out hunting for the day and not just going into the first field at my place im booted up and wearing combats and the deer hunter jacket but if im bored and decide to just go walking ill go as im dressed in the summer

I get strange looks all the time getting out of my car and I know its because of how im dressed v the car im driving, but that's other peoples problem not mine

Birdnuts

In the colder months I wear a fleece hoody under a wax jacket if I'm doing vermin control from a hide. If I'm rough shooting I just wear the wax jacket as I'm moving about and generating body heat. Not a fan of wearing track suits outside the gym but I wouldn't hang anyone for it. I'd agree though that it wouldn't be the best look if your going around trying to get permissions off landowners.

Hello to you all just new here and must say its a very sad reflection on the calibre of the men on this forum that they would judge a hunting man or any other for that matter on what they are wearing and not their actions values beliefs etc . It seems the place is full up with jealous little men who dont feel liked or good enough unless they are dressed the same as everyone else driving the same cars talk the same , didnt yer fathers teach ye anything about being a man growing up many a rich heart is to be found under a poor coat dont judge until you get to know someone your probably wrong . Thats just ignorant and snobbery and very pathetic dont ever change tracksuit man whoever you are at least you have the balls to be different not like therest of these little insecure sheep the only essentials for rough shooting are a good dog and a gun that shoots straight good ethics as you are your own master in the field and the only thing that seperates a man in the field is good dog work and a good shot the rest is irrelevant and if thats what your preoccupied about stay the hell away from me until you get humble and grow up .. to the men that defended tracksuit man I sallute you

Boys these YouTube videos are mine by the way , and I'm no skanger, I love hunting and give everything to hunting, to be judged on what I am wearing is absolutely shocking, I put all my money into my dogs, dog runs and dog food.....I have 2 kids as well and saving for a wedding at the moment and to hear this ****e is killing me to be honest. I have a few pheasant jumpers and camo gear but to be honest it's all about comfort really cause its not just a quick in and out hunt, I'm hunting all day every Saturday and Sunday, i might have to bring a a change of clothes also. I am disappointed to say the least over this and makes me wonder why I upload videos at all... Skanger.....Haha Ye are gas, I have met a few people from this website and they will tell you that I am no skanger. Come off yere high horse now lads.

Remember me?

Can't believe what I am reading! Next fellas will be saying it's only acceptable to shoot side by side ,and it will have to be a 200000 euro purdey. Not every fella can afford to go out and buy this gear and even of they did some lads choose not too anyway. because like myself it's more comfortable to wear a sweat pants. I think all this **** started with shoots in England where a certain attire had to be conformed with and and side by side had to be used . The lads that are against the tracksuit pants must be working for deer hunter or something. Dogs hunt birds guns shoot birds. Simple nothing to do with how u look

Good on ye, keep the videos coming

As I said before, nothing to do with the look, but just think their not up to the job!

For instance, remember bringing the young lad with me one time, and he wore tracksuit bottoms!

Was alright till we hit hard cover!

Well he felt every torn, nettle, thistle he brushed off! Nearly had to call for a helicopter, to get him out a there!
After that it was jeans, till i could round up a few Bob for camo gear! Lesson learned!
