First off...thank you for all the help with my first Washington hunting season. Although I will likely be eating tag soup unless I can go chase bts one more time before the end of the year, I learned a lot. One of the things I wanted to figure out was if my gear worked as well here as it did in the South. I think my color patterns on the camo are good (I got close a lot of times, but nothing that was in season or shootable). I bought a set of rain gear that worked well last week as I chased Rosies around the peninsula, but the one thing that failed miserably were my gloves. I learned there's a big difference between "weather resistant" and "water proof". My hands were so cold and wet after just an hour that I don't know that I would have even made a good shot if I had one. Any suggestions on good, warm, dry gloves?
Thanks again for all the help. It's great having this forum to read and re-learn. I feel like I did when I first started hunting and I'm sure I will look back and laugh at some of the places I spent hiking around looking for critters. But hey, that's 90% of the fun.
