Nothing but a little hair,quit wearing a hat when I retired from the Navy.

During elk season I just wear a low profile cap of some kind.

During the late Blacktail hunt I usually wear an old military surplus "Radar O'Riley" wool cap.

Up here in Saskatchewan it can be 90 above or 20 below I've probably got 50 differant hats ,everything from soup to nuts to cover all conditions. One thing most have is earflaps to keep the wind out. The wind is always blowing up here whether its hot or cold.

Let's hear from the rest of you Tradgangers. What's on your head?

I have been wearing a hat like this since 1976 best I have found for the rain and most any other weather unless very hot and I use a boonie.

And Ron pulls yet another photo out of his hat, er, or a hat out of another photo . . . something like that:^)

HHAAAAAAAAAAA! Were you wearing that derby hat in Albany Tom? That sounds like what the head cook said after Gene and Barry left the "All-YOU-CAN EAT" shrimp bar in Albany in 08! Those boys eat BIG, even by Texas standards!!

SpikeMaster · May 15, 2009, 08:38:00 AM

Gatekeeper, I've seen hunters wear all sorts of hats but never a derby. That's something really unique. Off course we are traditional archers so were're all a little off the norm anyway.

Yes...ha ha. The head cook was probably related to the cashier at the grocery store. I know everyone working and eating at the Dairy Queen were related except for ksbowman, Fatman and me.

Gene asked me what I do if the brim gets in the way and Barry replied he turns it around backwards.

I get a lot of double looks and comments for this style of hat so I guess I'll have to keep it. People either like it or hate it. Nobody is sitting on the fence with their opinion about this hat.

I heard a little bit about the shrimp eating episode but we didn't go into town on shrimp night when we were there so I wasn't able to witness the gluttony.

I can't bear a bare head...er I mean bear head :rolleyes:

Sticks and strings and flint lock guns
V twin Harleys that roar when run
Shoulder length hair and buckskin clothes
Moose hide moccasins over the toes

This may not be a man of the times
whose interest is different and talks in rhymes
Society tells us what we should be
The mold doesn't fit,..I've gotta be me.

Ok Ron, now it is official; I want to be just like you when I grow up! Bows, arrows, Harley's, buckskin, moccasins, flintlocks, and more hats then a man could wear in a lifetime; you are my hero. The simple tweed Irish cap that I wear just does not seem to keep up the standard but they; keep sun/rain off your head, keep head warm, a little hot at times, do not get in the way of shooting, and most of all just look very stylish with my white hair. LOL Great thread lots of fun and some outstanding head gear.

Gee Ron, did that bear eat you or did you eat the bear!??!
