So after some deliberation this is what i am thinking https://www.cabelas.com/user/wishlist_search_detail.jsp?id=S2FXjDKnRcU%3D&firstName=MICHAEL&lastName=DELALIO&state=NY&key=b7734caa8f10340f4fa32dc14f6deb41&sFName=&sLName=DELALIO&sCity=&sState=NY&sLocation=USA A little over budget but since when has anyone stuck to a budget Should I order one size bigger to make sure it will fit with the layers?

Hey all, I recently have decided to get into hunting in particular i intend on bowhunting the east end of long island and my cousins property upstate, well if the federal sharpshooters leave anything for me next fall out here Anyway i have begun my journey on and have purchased my bow, arrows and the like. next on the list is my jacket and pants, then i intend on possibly buying a treestand aside from all the little things here and there i am to get. Anyway i am a bit overwhelmed by all the product the patterns the fabrics and dont quite know what to buy. i am trying to do this off season as to save a little money and make purchases as we become closer to the season so that i dont have to watch a large chunk of my paychecks disappear all at once(somehow this make it less painful) anyway. Back to my original question what to buy the general concensus out here has been any mossy oak pattern from what i can gather from my friends. Now the question becomes so i get a bulky jacket/bibs guaranteed to keep myself warm in the dead of the season, one of those 4 in one parkas from cabelas or the like i figure it is the most versatile? but will it be too cumbersome? or do i go with something like the scent lok velocity jacket and pants a little more streamlined probably a little quieter and less bulky but possibly not as mush room for layering in december? which brings me to my second question with deer ever encroaching on property are they no longer threatened by our smell and is getting something with scentlok worth it or will i get the same effect from washing my clothes with scent away or something? Will a bigger jacket hamper my ability to perform in the field. I have practicedoutside with a number of differnt jackets and just feel like my carhartt canvas jacket seems to get in the way a bit. If anyone has any feedback or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. At this time my budget for my pants/jackt combo is around 300 but for the right reasons can go up? I also would appreciate something i would only have to buy once. and it would last a number of seasons both down here and upstate around cooperstown Mike
