I like a green wool hat similar to what Chuck Adams wears, no brim and it gets cold here in Vermont.

Boonies with the brim cut down, Wensel stlye with the wire brim, Radar type wool, wool Winona, Wool crushers and the old style Jones hats. Depends on the weather and how cold or warm it is.......I have waaaaaay to many hats.....lol!!

Either a beanie or a bandana because I can't wear anything with a brim because the brim hits my string when I draw and distracts me.

About anything but a baseball style cap.  I have a bucket, a boonie (so-so on that one), and a Fred Bear/Fred Asbell style one (my favorite).  I bought a Wensel type one at Compton and seem to like it alright.

Recent restore of my Stetson Open Road. Dried to get some shape back into the beaver, added the homemade hatband w/bone & feathers, & installed moose antlers (turtle shell) on the front which also adds support. 2 decades plus partial here.

Camo baseball cap from Cabela's corporate outfitter department. I designed a logo and Cabela's does free set-up and embroidery. Total cost <$8 each.  Good gifts for my young kids and my hunting buddies, more meaningful than buying something off a rack.

I wear a real thin beanie in the warmer months and a heavy fleece beanie in the colder months.

You are looking at mine in my new Avatar (in colder days I wear a knit "watch cap" under that). It's a 3D leaf type crushable with netting inside the 3d Leaf cutouts.

Last season I wore a Sitka Gear beanie. It was very comfortable and didn't interfere with my recurve's bowstring.

A couple of month's ago I received a short-brimmed hat from Big Jim that had a wire brim-edge. It is fantastic as you can customize the brim to clear the string as well.

Unfortunately, I've misplaced the hat.  I'll call out a search party (here in the house) and find that booger before the first of September!
