Is underwear the most common hunting gear?

Is underwear the most common hunting apparel in North Idaho?

We moved here a couple of years ago because we love the country and the people.  I also love hunting, so I went to Walmart and bought a camouflage hat, coat, shirt, pants, and gloves. They were on sale and I got a good deal.

But after talking to several hundred local residents I found that I probably didn’t need them. Almost ever time I asked someone, “How did you get your turkey, or deer, or elk?” the reply was almost always “Well, I just stepped out on the porch in my underwear, shot the turkey (or deer, or elk), went back in and finished my coffee and breakfast, then went out and skinned it out and cut it up.”
