I bought the Red Head 3D suit before I posted .... was just looking for input as to whether anyone used it and had success and found it any better than anything else they use .... i realize that the camo is more for the hunter than the beast ..... I wanted to get the 3D stuff to mask more movement .... breaks up your outline a little more ..... plus .... because its a cover suit rather than insulation a) it allows me more options in clothing under the camo and b) can use it for various types of hunting .... the more important factor to me was to get good cover scent (ie activated carbon or collidal silver) and scent masking base layers. I've watched enough video on these creatures now and realize that even though they have good eyesight (less the colour spectrum) they are constantly smelling their environment ....
youre right, camo clothing is not necessary, it only makes us feel good..deer cant see you with any clothes.nose is their protection..i dont buy cover scents..i take in my yard,start a fire with birch or apple wood..apple is fine if your have apple trees where you hunt..pine needles are great to smoke your clothes.i then hold clothes in smoke for few minutes..then into a feed bag,kind you carry corn in.tie it off.you can use garbage bag also..this is best cver scent you can have..those things you buy, well, each their own.. i dont use them and i am only up in tree about 12 ft,maxis 15 ft. i use ladder stand on BIG oaks,brown tossel hat, camo shirt and black blue jeans,lacroose alpha burlys..take care..
