i wanna make sure i can use it more than from nov&dec.
Since you brought that up, I'll take just a sec to address that... and I'm not trying to sell you on any one brand over another, but I see this mentioned some times. You go with what makes you happy...
Let me start by showing a couple pics...
This is from a HNI member who inadvertently walked by his trail cam out in the open woods:
And I know you've seen me post this photo before; the point is to show both together -- as I don't know if they've ever been shown in the same post: One on the ground, the other in the tree:
OK, I guess here's my thought: If the camo works this good
in the open with
no leaves on the trees, and the subject isn't hidden behind a myriad of limbs, boughs and other tree trunks... how good would it work if you
did add all that other stuff? Even if that foliage were green?
Now, it won't take but a quick search to see that I wore Spring Green early this year -- but until I had that option, I wore Fall Gray year-round, with great results I might add. If you take any of the Predator patterns and turn them into black and white, (the classic patterns, as I call them: Fall Brown -- which is almost unavailable anyway -- Fall Gray and Spring Green), they all look alike anyway.
In fact, my first mature doe I killed in Missouri was taken at 11 yards or so with me wearing Fall Gray in mid-September, with at least two and possibly three fawns around her. You know that makes for a very wary momma animal, and the predominant color in the trees was obviously green.
Again, take the phenomenal ability of this pattern to literally just obliterate the human outline and it's fantastic by itself. Throw some foliage
on top of it -- well, you're gonna be mighty hard to see from an animal's perspective.
