Deer Season & Hunting Hats

Archery seasons opened in September and firearms season anchors November, which makes the next ten weeks the longest running holiday in American outdoor culture. Deer hunting is the most popular hunting activity in the country. Michigan alone sells close to a million licenses. In parts of Michigan and Wisconsin, schools close for the opener. The comedy of deer hunting is that almost all of it is waiting. You are up at 4am. You spend $4,000 on gear to eat one deer. You sit twelve feet up a tree with no signal and nobody talking, and most days you see nothing at all, and then you do it again tomorrow. Anyone who has actually done it knows that this was never really about the deer. Green Camo is the hero colorway here, stitched in blaze orange the way it should be, alongside spruce, khaki and dark grey. Reverse-arch DEER CAMP in old gold, arched PUBLIC LAND in kiwi green, and heavy slab serif for the lines that are basically a bill.
