What hat do you wear?

[shreffler]

In PA, we're required to wear 100 sq. inches of blaze orange on our heads once turkey and small game are in.

I can't shoot with a ball cap on to save my life, and there doesn't seem to be any short brimmed blaze orange hats out there.

What do you guys wear?

Stocking cap

[boznarras]

Filson #60065. I removed the metal rings and sewed the flaps together on mine

[Gooserbat]

Stocking hat or nothing.  Have you tried a boonie?

get a cheap orange ball cap and cut the bill down to size.

[Matty]

Jones style cap. Flo orange.
Pretty sure you can get them at LL BEAN
ONLY hat I could ever shoot a bow with

[Bill Turner]

I to have a problem wearing any type of billed hat when shooting my longbow. Julia Norris, AKA "The Alabama Hat Lady", makes a reversible orange/camo  hat for traditional archers with this problem. I have two and they work great. Her contact use to be [email protected]. Hope it still works. Julia is a past IBO World Long Bow Champion and her husband makes and sells Woody Weights. He advertises in Traditional Bowhunter magazine. Good luck with your quest.

I took a Boonie hat and just kept cutting the brim back till it wasn't an issue, then made it even all the way around.

I usually wear a baseball. The full bill doesn't bother me. If it raining I wear a fedora. If it's cold I wear a stocking cap.

orange bandana, biker style

It's usually not cold enough for a stocking cap til November, and by then archery season is almost over.

I'll have to check out the Filson and LL Bean models. Trimming down a cheap ball cap doesn't seem like a bad idea either.

are you stalking? Orange is only required to be worn when moving in the Fall during the turkey season overlap in Pa..

[kevsuperg]

I use a radar style cap. You know the guy from MASH.
 Its reversible orange/camo. Believe I got it from dicks sporting goods.
 Or I were my leafy boonie.  No orange on that

[1flyfish]

Go to Dicks or even walmart that sells the beanie style polarfleece that are fairly thin that are reversable from camo to blaze works great,thats what I use and not to warm for that time of year.

Try Day One... They have some options you may like...

[Lin Rhea]

Filson wool. I think it's called a Packer. Bout time to dig it out.

[shag08]

I know it looks stupid BUT if I'm wearing a ball cap when shooting I just turn it backwards.

I do a lot of still hunting, as well as small game hunting. Not to mention I just like being able to be seen by other hunters, you can never be too sure    

I'll have to check some of these out. Guys post pictures of any of your go-to hats if you have them.

Short brim boonie in warm weather and a stormey kromer in the late season .

[reddogge]

I only wear this for rifle deer and rabbit hunting but it's a fluorescent orange Jones style hat. Have no idea where it came from.
