Blaze orange camo in wool?


Holy Canvas

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know where I could get a wool top for hunting in Blaze orange camo? I really like wool, but I can't seem to find ANTHING in blaze camo in it. I can't stand bringing up my gun, or brushing against a branch out in the woods. I feel like I'm setting off firecrackers out there. I love my wool bibs, and was just wondering if anyone makes a blaze camo top. If not, what is the ABSOLUTE most quiet garment there is available in blaze camo. Thanks to all for your help.

I wish I knew. Felt the same way you do, but now have microfiber blaze orange shell that is extremely quiet, waterproof, doesn't collect burrs and is comfy. Mines a Columbia but there are a lot of them out there. Would still love to have a blaze orange shirt in wool.

Go to Bemidji(sp) Woolen in Bemidji. They will measure you and make you a custom jacket. I have one and love it. Mine is just blaze orange though. Might want to call ahead on the camo material. They are reasonably priced for a custom made item. I also find that their wool products are a little thicker than most other brands.

My dad bought me one several years ago and it has help up well. Dad was measured with a extra jacket on for extra room.

Hope this helps.

I've seen orange, wool jackets at FF made by Codet (sp?). I've got a pair of bibs and love them. A member of my hunting parting purchased new jacket/bibs and the material was very soft/quiet. I think it's called "brush hush" or "brush hide" - something like that. Not sure of the manufacturer but he said they were a lot more quiet walking in the woods.

Check out Gray Wolf Woolens. They have some wool blaze camo there. This stuff looks and sounds good, but it is spendy. I tried finding some people with firsthand experience with Gray Wolf products, but nobody on the archery forum responded.

I purchased a Bemidji woolens Blaze jacket many years ago and still wear it when I'm "still" hunting. Works great and has held up well. I have since purchased a Columbia silent hunting parka and bibs which are the best. I haven't seen them in the stores for a few years though. I did notice that the Browning brand seemed real close to what the Columbia used to be. Real warm and real quiet. Pricy though.

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.

      On the South Shore...  The focus for most this past week for resorts and ice fishing outfitters is checking ice conditions.  Things are progressing nicely.  As we remind anglers each and every year, ice conditions can vary significantly.  Consequently,  we typically will not make blanket statements about ice conditions or thickness of ice.  It is best to work through a resort or outfitter who knows the ice conditions on the part of the lake they are working.     The 10 day forecast shows temps staying below freezing and hitting the single digits many days.  Depending upon the wind, this should continue to build up the ice and get things started,   Some spearing and angling for pike has started in areas of back bays.  Work through an outfitter and stay on marked trails as ice conditions still vary, even on the bays.  Naturally, with Lake of the Woods having a robust population of big pike, some nice fish are coming in. As the days go on, resorts and outfitters are continuing to mark their ice roads and venture out further checking ice conditions daily.  Initial reports are showing good ice formation on many parts of the lake off of the south shore.     From many parts of the south shore, there is ice as far as the eye can see.  With cloudy conditions, a satellite image of the entire lake has not been available for a number of days.   On the Rainy River...  The river is iced over.  It certainly isn't ready for any traffic as of yet but the fact it is locked up is encouraging.   Some spearing and angling for pike happening in back bays off of the river.  Once ice thickens, a couple of resorts who fish the river will mark ice trails in their particulate fishing area.  The river has current, it is best to work through a resort or outfitter.   Up at the NW Angle...   The Angle is locked up with ice for the most part.  Fishing isn't happening yet, but resorts and outfitters have started checking ice conditions and the ice is progressing nicely.  Things are on track for a good ice fishing season. Watch the Lake of the Woods Tourism Facebook page or other resort facebook pages for reports and videos of current ice conditions.  At this point, reports are coming in daily. If you haven't made reservations for ice fishing, now is a great time.

      Good update.   There has already been a host of idiots walking on the thin ice in the metro, with several rescues taking place. I read that a retired pastor in Duluth also went ice skating on thin ice and died. It's good to see that you're waiting a bit.

      It’ll hurt your arms as you’ll have to saw through that thick, thick 12 inches instead of 6-8. 😉

      Lots of medium lakes are locked tight, big lakes like trout in colraine, turtle caribou north of Marcell are open. I'd venture small and medium lakes will be good for foot travel and or atv this weekend
