As someone who lives in northern BC: only city folk/wannabe hunter cosplayers bother with camo. Sweats and sunglasses work fine.
I know several people that dont even leave their truck to shoot unless they actually need to.
My dad lives in the sticks and always makes fun of hunters with their fancy multicam outfits and $1000 scopes since he frequently gets entire families of deer at his doorstep. He jokes he could take one out with a .22
in the US that's illegal.
Well, I'm not in the US, and even if it is illegal here in Canada, there are so many back roads and abandoned forestry trails you would have to either be incredibly unlucky or an idiot to get caught.
just pointing it out so dumbasses in the US won't go, "that's a great idea!"
Yeah, the smart ones do it from a road at night with a spotlight... no camo required there either.
... I honestly can't decide if I should tag this with an /s or not because it is 100% a thing that happens (also 100% illegal, especially when off-season, no license, and you throw in the case of natty ice, but when has that stopped a determined redneck)
I have run across so many "hunters" doing exactly this so many times in my youth while backroading.
you're absolutely right. the only thing that can stop a determined redneck is a lack of "ambition" (beer or ammo).
It's not always to actually shoot the deer, when you see hunters at night using spotlights to, well, spot deer. We used to do it when I was 18 as well. It was more to find and designate feeding places for the deer and then plan shooting spots based on that.
