Outdoor Life Subscribers - November issue of Outdoor Life (Rule the Rut)

[Cruizin for Fish]

Hello - Just found out that someone tossed my November issue of Outdoor Life. There was an article in there that I read called 'The Waiting' about hunting brutes in Saskatchewan. I was wondering if any of you have that issue and could take a read of it and tell me what hunting outfit the author mentions he would not be left without in the cold conditions of Saskatchewan. I have been trying to remember what the name of the suit (obviously extremely warm) was but I just cannot recall. They no longer have this issue at the stand, and so far, Outdoor Life Customer Service has not been able to help me. I want to track this down before it gets too old. I would like to look into the suit to see if it appears as warm as he mentions. Note - it was not a brand name item - I had never heard of it.

Thanks!

I'm holding it now but don't see an article on Sask hunting - was it a main article or an ad or what?

I just dug out that issue and took a look at the article[The Waiting] and saw nothing in regards to the type or name of his clothing. I will again reread tonight and see if I missed something.

Cooter, it says Rule the Rut on the outside cover and the story inside is The Waiting. I could not find what he was looking for yet.November issue.

Guess I should have mentioned that it is not very apparent when reading the article. However, it is in there - I only have memory to go from but from what I remember he rather nonchalantly mentions he would not be there (Saskatchewan) without his _ (suit or outfit or clothing). Hopefully you can find it.

Hmmm...appears the Nov '04 issue also is headlined "Rule the Rut" I'll try jumping up a couple years and probably have better luck!

[Cooter]

And the Nov '05 issue reads "Own the Rut"...I'm getting close now! Think the Nov '06 issue is standing guard on the throne at home, will report back tomorrow

I just went through the article you are talking about again and I cannot find anything in regards to the clothing he is wearing. If you would like I can mail the magazine to you if you want to e-mail me your address. e-mail address is below.

I just read it front to back and there is no mention of what you're referring to. All he mentions is having a lot of heat packs.

There is a full body suit (not coverall) that covers your entire body like a sleeping bag. Its not in the story, but I have read several things about it and many people like it. Its for stand hunting only.

Try a google search for heaterbodysuit. It is kinda like a sleeping bag that slides open to let you shoot. They are sold through a company in Wisconsin. I think they are around $300.

Hope this helps.

yup, heater body suit, theres an ad for it on page 73 of the oct/nov issue of bowhunter mag as well, not sure if it helps but the web page is "heaterbodysuit" with the usuall ending

Boys - thanks so much for looking into this for me. The heater body suit does ring a bell - I will certainly look into that. As far as stand hunting - that is virtually all I do so it appears it may fit me well. I will be adding a post sometime about Cabelas Stand Hunter Extreme clothing that I purchased a few months ago that worked quite well also.

AFter the numbers and size of deer he mentions seeing, I dont think I would be heading to Sask any time soon. Nothing worse than being bored and cold at the same time.
