    I wanted to order a set last year but just couldn’t swing the cost. It was a no-brainer at this price.

    The thing about gamehide’s product is just how great it’s designed to fit, espeically in the parka/jackets. However, I don’t think I’d swim in a 2x. Keep in mind, worst case, they don’t fit, you either eat a lot more this winter or you sell them here on IDO. I can’t believe you won’t be able to dump them very easily for what you paid.

    I got a bag of big and beasty for Christmas. I did not have time to plant it this year. Can this go bad or will I be good to go in the spring?

    It should be fine but the germination rate will decrease. It would be best to do a rag test with seeds before you plant to determain your germination % and adjust seeding population. We have used old seed and just up the population rate because some of it wont grow.

    Keep in a dry dark cool place and it will be good for years as far as germination… most people plant Big and beasty way to heavy. so just plant before a rain and you will be fine. fresh seed planted in hot dry soil will loose as much as 30-50% germination
