EricW Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Do deer, elk, ducks, and geese really care if you're wearing a Mossy Oak® White Trash jock strap? Or, could it be that the thought of seeing my white, hairy butt sticking out of said jockstrap makes them suicidal and thus easier to bag? Can they really tell that my tan or black floating shotgun case is an alien object and signal the troops to skedaddle? I went shopping for a $20 gun case and it was like "Queer Eye for the NRA Member." Do people actually go hunting anymore, or do they just put on $743 of branded marketing crap and head for the fashion show? From what I'm seeing, apparently it's the latter. I can understand a camo jacket. The need for pants is a little mysterious unless you're bow hunting. The camo bedspread and fuzzy toilet seat cover defy human comprehension. The irony in all this is that I spent the last two summers paddling up well within gun range to every kind of wildlife imaginable in a red canoe while wearing a yellow lifejacket.

Sam Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Yeah, the cammie toilet seat is really a bad idea. I have enough trouble hitting the target as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 At least the Camo Seat isn't scary. Seen the one with fishing lures, with hooks, embedded in the plastic cast seat? Man, no way in hell would I sit on that sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 OK, here I am looking at Cabelas' latest catalog. In the (I sh*t you not) camoflage home furnishings section, one can find: Camo bedding sets in not one, but your choice of SIX distinct patterns A camo crib set Camo shower curtains A camo cordless phone A camo duffle bags (as if lost luggage wasn't enough of a problem) Camo waders (so the bass won't alert the ducks?) A camo sleeping bag (so your gay tentmate can't find you?) A gazillion camo flashlights (isn't it usually DARK when we're using a flashlight?) What's it to me if some schmuck wears camo lipgloss? Nothin. But now, there's stuff I simply can't buy in normal, human colors. That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I'm wondering how with all that camo anybody can find anything! Camo bedspread? So when you enter the room all you see is a pillow floating where your bed shoud be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerjg Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 EricW: they also have ladies sexy underthings. How bout a nice pair of thong panties in Mossy oak pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Wot? No camo urination sheaths? Damn. I'd hate to be responding to a call of nature and have something feathered swoop down thinking that "Little Vinny" is a one-eyed albino worm with a heavy overcoat.

Dead Buff Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Vince, you commented about 2 weeks ago that some guys commented on Vinny MAYBE making "minor"....You really thing some big bird will stop by for a snack in a place crawling with steak-sized goodies....

rhino Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 The variety of "non-essentials" marketed with a camouflage decorative pattern would seem to indicate a demand for the products. If the people want them, is that not enough? Maybe they just like the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer-lock Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 There must be some defect in the gene pool that drives people to wear Mossy Oak in an urban environment. The real goofy thing is that most of the big game states require hunters to wear blaze orange in the field. I have successfully taken deer over the years while wearing jeans and a brown canvas coat AND 144 square inches of blaze orange. In Saskatchewan all big game hunters must wear a complete outer suit of scarlet, bright yellow or hunter orange. Animals rely on scent and hearing much more than sight and the sight component is movement, not shape or color. Deer (and hunters in general) rarely look UP, that’s why the bow hunters are always in a tall tree and are exempt from the blaze orange regulation in most states. geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 you guys forgot about the camo trucks! i have enough trouble finding my red truck at the mall. I hear ya. I've still got a rental car I can't find in Mall Of America, which I parked there on my last visit in Y2K (I suspect I accidentally parked it in Wisconsin).

SiG Lady Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 "The camo bedspread and fuzzy toilet seat cover defy human comprehension." Product photos, PLEEZ!!! A camo crib set??!! Oh yeh, start 'em early! Or: Baby getting annoying? Just pop 'em into the camo crib set and watch 'em disappear. Outa sight, outa mind. Camo shower curtains...? LOL!! "Nope, no one in the shower. That's just the water running for the hell of it." Camo cordless phone...?! Criminy, I hear more people bitch about "...can't find my cell phone!!..." as it is. (kinda like the red truck in the parking lot). Camo sleeping bag??!! Good way to get stepped on. This is insane.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer-lock Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 This is insane.... Yup, crazy to the max. But there is hope. I notice that the Eugene Farmers Co-op features blue denim overalls and strong primary colors in their shirt selection. geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I own ... nothing (that I remember) that is camouflage, but you people are pushing me to convert my lifestyle to all camo, all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Geezerlock-- The Eugene Farmers Coop closed some years ago (I helped create their Website... but then watched them fold up)... I'm not certain they're having any sales at the moment...... unless you're referring to the graphics on display in the Dealers Forum or on my Website.... Hmm, maybe that's it. Duh.

geezer-lock Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Unless the honorable Geezerlock is talking about something ENTIRELY different....at an entirely different place... and time... Nothing mysterious here. I just noticed the graphic and the complete absence of camouflage apparel. If you have visited a Bass Pro or Gander Mountain store recently there are acres of Mossy Oak available. I was shopping recently for a new pair of rubber boots and everything I looked at was some variant of the Mossy Oak style. What’s wrong with black for crying out loud? geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajarrel Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I have super 8 movies of deer hunts in the 50's and 60's that my Dad participated in. They would have 10-12 bucks hanging btwn two trees and one of the most notable items is the total lack of camo. Most folks are wearing a flannel shirt (usually red plaid) and jeans or khaki work pants. And most were wearing, as geezer-lock was lamenting about the lack of, black rubber boots. I have one old BDU shirt that I like to wear, but it's because it has pockets everywhere. Just a fad that cost alot of hunters alot of money. dj OBTW, Geezer-lock- if you want black rubber boots go to an industrial safety store. They usually have them. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
