jscheetz Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 OK, so just to start the new year off right I had gone fishing and left my wet waders to dry on the chair on the deck - like I have done for the 12 years that I have lived here. I go to bring them in and squirrels chewed holes in them!! My 1 year old Orvis waders!!! DOH!!! Thought I would share that with you all so you can take precautions if you ever let your waders sit outside - plus I am sure it will be funny to someone besides me. Oh well - you live and learn right? These waders have been on many streams and thorny trails and have performed like champs and haven't leaked a drop - but on my own deck they were vulnerable. Enough to even make a non-hunting guy like me consider a spot of squirrel stew to ring in the new year.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 3, 2008 Root Admin Posted January 3, 2008 You should send them in... ignore the fact there are holes... just that they leak. They may laugh so hard, they may send you a new pair!!

Trav Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Sorry No such luck! Haha My dog has yet to get a squirrel that I am aware of. She absolutley despises them too. Probably because they are so hard to catch. Although she is getting real good at climbing (and falling out of) trees. Scene her chase one "tree rat" 15 feet up a cedar. I guess thats her way of doing a little "pole dance" for me....Haha "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson

That squirrel might have lost a cousin to Leonard some where along the way. "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line"
zander Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Instead of going commando, I would start wearing some sort of pants or something underneath your waders. Nuts are what they try to sniff out after all:)
Trav Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Haha They must have smelled something they liked. "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
shawncat Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks JS you just reminded me to get my duck hunting waders off the back porch.
Terry Beeson Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 JS; you ain't kin to Terry Beeson is you? Only Terry could come up with a story like this one. Hey... I resemble that remark... Besides... Scheetz paid me good money to come up with that story for him!!! Hey... Look at it this way, Scheetz... Now those are REALLY breathable waders!!!
