Anyone know where I can buy white coverup clothing for use in Saskatchewan, other than Cabela's?

Thanks for any info.

Any paint shop.

Just a pair of white coveralls will work. Then you can use regular cold weather wear.

Cheaper than insulated white coveralls.

Aren't those "paintshop" desposable coveralls plasticy noisy things?

Soft quiet polar fleese are woth the extra money cause they are quiet.

I use my own homemade "SASCAMO" camo pants and top.

SASCAMO

Good one Wink
but perhaps misleading.
There are SAS Camo patterns available but they or any form of camo is not legal in Sask unless hunting in a game farm situation or on an Indian Reserve with all the necessary permissions.
SOme of the guys here use camo with a majority white background for preditor hunting but it is not approved for big game .

Even camo orange is a no no.

I used to be concerned about wearing the approved colours until numerous encounters with deer , elk and moose within a few yards and was not spotted. Last year the regulations were ammended so that only the top half need be white, orange, red or yellow. Hat or cap must be one of the listed colours except be white.

I saw a set of thick white cover ups in a truck stop south of Nipawin, SK. They had a label in them "Brushfire" from Winnepeg.I thought I could find them on the internet. No luck.

I have a set of orange I bought from Cabela's. They are fine here in the south, but when the temps get to below zero, they "crackle" when you move.

Thanks for any info.

I think you only need the top nowadays. Ravenwear sells them.

I have the Northern Outfitters top and bottom. They ain't cheap by any means but they are more than just a white cover-up. They are windproof, durable, quiet enough for most hunting uses, lightweight, both top and bottom pack into about a 5 inch ball in the supplied carry bag. They are oversize to fit over very bulky clothing. I had the entire Arctic EXP suit but sold it all keeping the white stuff because I liked it so much.

Tyvek isn't that noisy . I doubt you'll be doing any stalking in Sask. anyway so noise isn't much of a problem. If it's an outfitter you'll be stuck in a stand and told not to come off the stand. If you were hunting like a local you wouldn't leave the truck. People look at me with wonder in their eyes and say "you walked for your deer????"

My SASCAMO is legal. Think outside the box.

I use a Canadian army surplus shell. Goes over bulky clothes easily and helps to hide the human silhouette as well.

Grizz is that the one that feels like silk? I've got a set of those and they work well.

My cousin uses a white fleece suit, he looks like a rather large and plump marshmallow.

I have hunted FROM a truck on many occassions. Much of the area I hunt is characterised by small willow sloughs which are a mile apart. Getting close to the area then getting out to push the slough is the only way to hunt more than a couple acres in a day. The rest of the time is driving through a wasteland as far as deer habitatis concerned. When the DNR brought in roads and trails only for many zones the local CO told me it was a stupid regulation for much of his territroy. The density of deer is very low when plotted on a per sguare mile basis. And no, it is not because truck hunters killed them all but due to the requirements of cover and habitat. Stopping all vehicle use off trails will not lead to more deer as the land simply can not support more. Each deer needs a certain amount of suitable territory and that may be extended over several sections of land.

I also hunt a great deal with a muzzle loader and then I do walk, sometimes for miles,but in areas with long coulees and at least an opportunity to be hunting rather than taking a strol.
In bush or coulees there is at least a chance to see game at virtually all times. Something that doesn't happen while walking empty flat stubble.

There are places where you can cut corners and save some money on your gear when hunting. To me hunting clothing is imortant. It has to be warm and quiet. Even if you are in a tree shand or ground blind you do not want to be wrinkling and crinkling and scratching when you move around a bit. Soft polarfleece (or somthing like it)is worth the $ for hunting garments.

You can get white coverups at sirmailorder in winterpeg. I believe they sell them for about 50$. Just pull over your regular hunting outfit.
