My buddy hunts elk in an oilskin duster all the time.  Probably the last thing I'd wear but he likes it.

One guy I hunt with uses a big, heavy oilskin duster.  When he has to go through a big blackberry bramble, he puts the gun inside the jacket and walks backwards through the blackberries.  makes a bit of noise (what doesn't in blackberry or salal, though), but keeps him and his gun from getting all scratched up.
