Cabela's and Schnee's are excellent hunting
outfitters for your clothing/equipment
needs:
Schnee's 1-800-922-1562 or
online at:
http://www.schnees.com Go to
their online catalog. We strongly advise the 14" Arctic boot for your
trip. Sorrel type boots, w/ rubber bottoms and a leather upper are a must w/ a
minimum of 400 Gram Thinsulate. No matter the claims, all leather footwear is never
completely waterproof.
Cabela's 1-800-237-4444 or online at:
http://www.cabelas.com Go to their Clothing section, choose
Big Game Clothing, then choose Camouflage Quiet
Rainwear. We urgently suggest the Cabelas MT050 Quiet
Pack pants and jacket, or the Cabelas Gore-Tex Ambush 2001 set is also acceptable.
Remember trophy game hunting is very difficult if you wear noisy rain gear. Cabelas
also offers a good economical boot. It is the Cabelas Gore-Tex Guide Boot, and is
under their Winter Footwear section, not the Hunting Footwear
section. Improper clothing can result in a miserable trip, so buy footwear and
raingear that is at least comparable to the above suggestions.
