LOL. Only a local would know that he's not a local. I have a worker who comes Upstate from NYC and he dresses like the dude in the photo. He goes mushroom hunting dressed like that. I just look at him and shake my head.
Anyway, the dude in the photo obviously knows nothing about hunting or he would not have walked over a deer seed trap.
where is the trap?
the circle covered in sawdust? What is underneath it?
I don’t think beggar ticks are found in the northeast, they seem to be an Ozark thing though there is a closely related species with smaller parallelogram-shaped seeds here in FL.
If so he may not have to worry about those things catching in his clothing- every region has its own distinctive plant life.
If you have a lot of cattle they’ll eat them up too, so the field will be clear of them. They are a legume and the seeds are edible an rather tasty.
Also, if he goes mushroom hunting for morels it would be in the spring and the seeds are long gone by then- they are a late summer early fall annoyance. There are some edible shrooms in the autumn woods, but spring is favored for the most delicious, the morel, and with the chill sweatpants would be OK then but you might have to worry about them getting soggy below the knee with mist and dew.
I wore sweats once out in the woods because after a canoe trip I was really sunburned and they were soft.
Once.
Nothing is as fun as walking full stride into cat briars in wimpy sweats and then trying to back out.
