So when you guys are saying Elmer Fudd, you kinda mean like this:
Rod
Thats what is called a Mad Bomber or Trooper Hat...Montana Highway Patrol wear them- I think the Mounties used to anyway...ND Fish and Game issued their guys coyote ones- which I just looked up today and are about $400-500 now.... The cheapest I could find were $150-200...Think I'll stay with my $30 rabbit fur.....

I also have a scotch cap- but its no where near as warm as that Mad Bomber- altho until the chill factor hits about 30 below I usually just wear my hat with the stretch on earflaps I pack in my coat pocket...
Sometimes the scotch cap and the railroader cap are confused- the railroader being flatter, with an extra set of earflaps that tie up in front of the cap just above the bill......
And FH- I think you're right- both the scotch cap and railroader must be hard to find in some areas of the country, because I've seen out of state hunters stock up on them.....
