Honestly, I don't feel there is a right or wrong answer as to what the best pattern is. I classify patterns into 3 main categories. Cluttered (MOBU), Open (ASAT/Predator) and Semi-Open(APG). In the perfect world i'd have a different pattern in each category to suit the season and terrain that i'm hunting. Personally, I hunt a lot of different terrains, whether it's spring hunting with a lot of foilage, hardwood timber areas, open grasslands, thick cedar's, late season timber, etc. Depending on the terrain and season would dictate the best pattern. I wouldn't want to use Predator when hunting thick cedars on the ground, and wouldn't want to use MOBU in the late season hardwoods where i'm skylined. The semi-open APG like patterns, IMO, is the middle of 2 extreme's and best suited when using in all terrain and seasons. Not too much detail and not too much open... just right for me and the terrain and all-year around hunting that I do. I feel Realtree nailed it with the pattern. Just my 2 cents.
