That is possibly the silliest idea I have heard of in years. The more you try to "hide" the more you are going to stand out. If you dont want people to see you, go where there are no people. Otherwise you are going to have to suck it up and stop worrying about it peoples eyeballs.

I responded earlier, but I know I can be slightly obvious too, when I'm given special Permission to hunt high-profile locations,
where the public frequently smile as they walk by - I Am-to-laugh at, anyway...! :laughing7:

I’m going to start hunting sidewalks again, and when asked just smile as well

To get around restrictions on metal detecting the "Sheep Meadow," in NYC's Central Park, I sawed the ears on a Tesoro 11" Eliptical coil off, and taped it to the bottom of my no metal sneaker. Because of the coil wire, I could only tape about 1/2 of the coil, with the wire inside my trousers, up to the Vaquero control box in my jacket pocket. The tape lasted about two-hours, and when I got a target, I would simply sit down with my back to folks and dig the plug.

I pulled this off three times, and it was most successful. I still use this set up now and again at "off limits" County Parks. Does this make me a bad person?:skullflag:

I wish we could see video of this.

I had a buddy who used to do this. He made one in a picnic basket and adding a false bottom

Video taping yourself breaking local laws is not recommended. :laughing7:

No wonder I couldn't find a video of guys shooting Asian carp with shotguns from the back of the boat! Who'd a thunk it?

I'd bet I'm not the first redneck that thought of it.

Are those the ones that fly when they get scared? LOL, that would be a hoot. Like shooting skeet that never stop coming!
