    What gear do you guys wear in the warm early season. I’m thinking of picking up some of the Scent-Lok Savanna line. I’ve always just had basically camo jeans and a light long sleeve shirt. Anyone use the savanna line? Really looking to get lighter pants this year

    I usually wear non camo hiking pants, and a cheap longsleeve from walmart or something.

    No need to get fancy in the early season IMO. Thin moisture wicking shirt and a pair of camo jeans is just fine as long as you practice good scent control. My entire early season gear is probably $50 total including boots.

    I wear a pair of blue jeans and a thin t-shirt, then put a leafy mesh poncho on over that after I get settled in the tree. If it's cooler, I'll use a light camo jacket instead of the poncho. My #1 piece of gear is knee high snake boots, I routinely walk up on cottonmouths, copperheads and rattlesnakes.

    Lightweight pants, t shirt, boots, bow, treestand. Oh yeah, bottle of water.

    As for snakes, I was walking a cut path yesterday and my old butt jumped about 3 feet to the left. Almost stepped on a big old snake. lol

    I wear the Savannah line and it works great... can beat little warm so I wait until I'm in the stand and cooled off to put the jacket on. Scentlok is a good brand of clothing, but you still have to play the wind right and manage your scent. Goodluck!
