Default Would you ever go back?

Most of us wear some sort of camo when we go hunting. Like some people, I started using military surplus, then I ordered some ASAT from Brigade Quartermaster, That stuff went away for awhile and I started in with Advantage, then went on to Hardwoods20/200.
Found the ASAT guys at the Harrisburg Sportsman's a couple of years ago and went hog wild. Bought everything, BDU pants, hats, gloves, light jacket, and finally the leafy suit.
Since then I have gotten rid of every other pattern of stuff I had. About 2 big Rubbermaid totes full, sold off or donated.
Maybe it's just me, but after you "get it",no other camo makes any sense.
So I am just wondering of the folks out there that use ASAT (or other forms of "open" pattern camo), how many of you would ever switch back to the "sticks and leaves" type camo?

i think it has its purpose but isint the total solution. my biggest reason for not using it much anymore is if bear and turkey can see color i think they could pick out the ASAT. all my hunting buddies use to be able to pick me out hunting a field edge. another problem i have is the use of tan and brown in the color pattern in big patchs. i know im over reacting but with all the hunters out there in my state i dont feel like wearing any color resembling the color of a deer. the black lines cutting throught the pattern look like antlers in a way also. i just dont want to take a chance and seldom wear my ASAT anymore. i believe in anything 3-d leafy with a good mix of the natural colors.

I wear a leaf cut ghillie suit more often than any other kind of camo these days , they beat "flat" camo hands down .

For big game? NO. It's ASAT, Predator, Sticks-n-Limbs only. For waterfowl, turkey, crows I use the blend in type of camouflages.
