Rabbit hunting jacket/boots

[Axis II]

Well my buddy is getting back into beagles and we have been running the dog a lot and I noticed my rubber boots suck with all the walking and uneven terrain and wearing an old hoodie picks up a ton of prickers and briars. I hunt NE ohio and our season runs Nov 1-Feb 28. I guess one of those upland shirts would work till the snow flies and then maybe an old Carhart?

What boots do you wear rabbit hunting and what type of shirt?

I just wear my rockys I was the shoe strings it keeps the burrs off. I wear a flannel shirt when it's not to cold, with all the walking I dress lighter. I had a nice Columbia wind breaker the burrs did not stick to it. Through it on the heater one day at work and melted it. Don't wear fleece I like the feel but it's like a high power magnet to burrs.

Tough to beat a good pair of Mucks. I don’t worry about briars on my jackets.

Mucks or equivalent boots are great.
Depending which part of Ohio you're in, it gets cold. For that, swampers with removable liners are my go to.

Wish I had money for mucks and if I did they would not fit lol.

How about duck boots (any brand, many options and price points) with a synthetic or merino wool undershirt, wool shirt and/or sweater and a synthetic nylon jacket? The nylon is for wind resistance and sheeding burrs.

I wear leather waterproof boots and Mule Gear from Okiies Dog Supply. Great customer service, good briarproof clothing that will not break the bank and it last more than a season. I wear the chaps and the shirt most of the time, my nephew wears the bibs and a carhart jacket.

For early Ohio upland I wore a cotton duck vest and chamois shirt, foul weather I switched to a cotton duck coat.

once I discovered Maine Hunters that’s all I wore, maybe not the best for deer stand in snow but you can get them insulated.

Oh now they’re Bean Boot.

Wear the most comfortable boots you own, Carhartt bibs and hoodie. Under layers as needed.
