Mine

The bug mesh ghillie ghost boonie bonnet

I'm old school. I still wear a camo Jones style hat while bowhunting. Always have, always will. This will be my 65th bowhunting season.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner......Sagebrush, with JC a close runner-up. But I think that may be Ebola growing on it Sage. Might want to take a little Woolite and a brush to that thing, jus' sayin'. Here' mine: Disclaimer: Wear anything fuzzy at your own risk, hawks and owls get their undies all in a bunch...

A lot of time invested,I do spray it off every now and then with the water hose.lol

I use one of Dan's

Nothing like a good Moose Dulap hat for hunting. :)

I'm in the original Jones hat camp. I still use one that is more rag than hat, WW2 camo pattern, with no body left in it, but it has been on my head or in my pack every season since 1975. It's a luck thing.

One for hot, one for cool and one for cold.

Woodland camo boonie that’s about had it. It’s my lucky hat, so I keep wearing it.

My U.S. Army issued boonie hat is one of my favorites.

Likely one of Dan's hats shown here. In colder/damp weather I have two wool models also.

Thanks grizz

White Falcon, see my prior "disclaimer"...the red-tails will have a "heyday" with that scalp. But it will sure keep you awake and alert in a tree stand!

My old stetson needs a fixin

This is my most recient shooting hat. Found it in a WI thrift shop when we left Compton. Looks like a 68', the last year Resistol made the "Silver Streak" this one was made for Dayton (target)

Red tails? Heck with that. I’d worry about the 30-06

Mine. Special in many ways

Boonie when I wear a hat

not really a hat guy

I use to wear a Fred Bear style hat or an Aussie Outback hat when I was younger. Now days I wear my U.S. Army issued boonie hat or one of my bucket hats.

One thing nice about the bucket and boonie hats is if you want to not wear it you can crunch it up and shove it in the cargo pocket of your pants.

Keeps my bald head warm as toast

I can also use mine as a bucket.lol

I have several,thought that one would get the most attention.have one of Dan's also

Not sure what this hat is called, but Ive been wearing it for over 35 yrs, it has thinsulate and is pretty warm. Its worn out, so this year I bought a new one from 3Rivers, not sure it will be as nice, but I cant bring myself to throwing out the old one yet ;)

I like my felt.

Ball cap most of the time.

Ha, forgot my pic of the old favorite, forgot to say the new one from 3R is reversable and orange on the inside, might come in handy. Hope it wears half as good as the old one.

My old bowhunter's hat with the wire brim. This one from Traditional Bowhunters of MD.

I do have some others that get used at any time I have the notion.

A few more of mine. The bucket hat on the right I've had since the mid-1970s.

But when the temperature drops and the snow flies I go to my fleece and wool tossel caps.

Bucket hat for me, or bandana when it is warmer. Had a felt Effanim Crusher hat years ago, can no longer find them.

I think this one is a little big.

Just the two extremes of about a 1/2 dozen. Left for early season and the right for the late season.

I dont have to many.1 of 3 racks

My beat up, should've hit the trash years ago, camo Pittsburgh Pirates hat. If I whistled for it, it would probably hop on my head before I left to go hunting or fishing ;)

I've even been know to wear a camo beanie hat over it when it gets cold just so I can have it on.

My father in law gave me a real nice camo military boonie hat a few years ago so I may have to get it out this season and break it in before my Pirate hat gives up the ghost.

Chuck Deshlers' wool caps

Sorry, wrong picture, that cap is a Stormy Cromer.

This is Chuck's cap

another vote here for crushable boonie hat. i sewed one side up for bow hunting so string does not hit brim when i draw. turn it other way for turkeys...

One of Dan's

I have at least 15 hats because I love them, I prefer Dan's for shooting, but for hunting no hats too many vines and blackberry bushes that will remove that hat in an instant plus a hat will block your overhead vision.

Without a hat you won't hit your head on anything.

The old tried and true Jone's cap

This was !958, see the Jone's cap

Gotta be pretty cold for me to put on a hat, hate them.

Mr Dan’s hat that I won. It is awesome

Cool thread, I don’t have a favorite hat but seems I need to work on that!

Like me, you should camo that chin. ;-)

Ttt

Yup! I have an original Dan Van Hoose

one of dans hats! mighty nice on a cold day!

I've told this story before. But, my favorite was a Jones style hat, wore it since I started in the late sixties. I had all my WI. Bowhunter pins on it. In the early eighties I was on a bear hunt near Ignace Ont. We were doing some walleye fishing on Sowden Lake when the hat blew off my head and sunk like a rock with all those pins on it. It was like losing an old friend. However, we all did shoot bears and caught a bunch of walleyes too.

I like those short wire brim hats like big sells. Most the time I prefer a bucket had for more sun protection on my ears. I have a camo under armor one that is well made and has a slightly wider brim than most.

If it’s cold I just use a stocking cap or a fur lined Bomber had if it’s super cold.

A Dan Neeby - Bow for It - Hat

The good luck hat.

The last three years my favorite and lucky hat is my fleece camo skull cap.
