On the recommendation of several people, and after having inspected the garments first-hand, I made the decision to switch from my Realtree camo over to Gray Wolf Woolens stuff in Jeff's Intrusion patterns. For early season and not-so-cold days I have a set of Intrusion Deadfall that I've been wearing, and for late-season/snow/barren trees/freezing cold conditions I have a set of lined bibs and a lined pullover in Intrusion Treeline. With the relatively mild temps so far this year I've done most of my hunting out of the Intrusion Deadfall and thus far, can't remember a deer that's picked me off in the stand and spooked. I've had plenty of them catch movement and look up at me, give me the stare-down, the head bob, and eventually either go right back to feeding or whatever else they were doing before they "saw" me. This includes an encounter I had with a small buck last weekend at 10 yards, on the ground, with him walking directly at me. He gave me the head-bob a few times, and eventually went right back on his merry way, offering me a perfect 10 yard shot if I wanted it.
To say I've been impressed and am happy with this gear and this pattern is an understatement. I love this stuff, and despite the fact that I ripped my pants crossing a fence last week and will probably have to buy a new set now, I'll don't see myself changing to anything else for a long, long time.
With that said, here are three sets of photos that Christine took of me in a tree with the Intrusion Deadfall pattern. Germ - make sure you add these to your collection.

Don - the pattern was created by Jeff at Gray Wolf Woolens, so I guess it's "his" pattern.
I'm sure if I got in some trees with a lot of cover or in a bid deadfall it would look even better, but these are real-life shots from stands that we hunted out of. The first two photos are of the very stand I was in when I shot the buck in my avatar to the left, and a doe from the night before. So I guess you could say I didn't "pose" these shots.

Good pics Justin. I just finished placing an order for some Predator Fall Gray over at GWW. Can't wait to get the order. While on the site, I noticed the Intrusion pattern. Once this season is over, I am going to be torn between another pattern like Intrusion or Enigma to add to my new camo. Decisions.... decisions. Intrustion Deadfall looks to be a great all around pattern from all of the pics I've been seeing.
Here is a link to the actual Intrusion Camo part of Gray Wolf Woolens website. It gives numerous pictures of how the Deadfall and Treeline patterns look in both color and b/w. Something to look at if anyone is considering this camo and wanted to see more pictures.
