Cammo galore to go with those BBs...
Ever since my arrival here it has surprised me that camouflage clothing is an everyday trend here. You don't have to be hunting to wear this lovely hunting apparel.
And they don't stop at just making apparel either!
So I began to write this blog entry this morning before heading to work. And then I found myself substitute teaching a grade 5 class for an hour and a half when I first got to work and they were doing an activity that involved writing checks and balancing a checkbook, they were 'shopping' from catalogues. One of the catalogues was full of hunting stuff and there were a couple of students 'buying' this stuff.
For certain types of hunting (my grade 5 boys did tell me which ones, but I can't remember) you have to wear flouro colours so other hunters don't shoot you. Apparently the animals can't see these colours so you are still camoflaged.
And don't forget before your next hunting trip to buy cammo binoculars because I would hate for you to go to all that effort clothing yourself in cammo only for the dear/moose/bear to spot your binoculars.
We have a friend who actually wore this stuff to a pub when we met some people for drinks one night, and a work colleague of mine actually had a cammo vest at work last week, I am wondering if she just wanted to be left alone by students when doing yard duty at lunch!?
I keep threatening Brett & Matt that I will buy them some of this stuff for Christmas and maybe I will I can't think of a better gag gift!

And obviously when hunting in the snow you need 'snow cammo'. Seriously I am not making this stuff up!
