Default RE: what's your camo pattern?

I love the Woolrich Technowool, which only comes in RT Hardwoods HD.

BUT...Rob hooked me on the ASAT. I got a 3-D suit for bowseason. I was never detected, and for those that may doubt it, here's two examples that it works under any circumstance.

1) Climbing down out of an oak, surrounded by a hemlock, with my Summit Viper. Got to within 2 feet of the ground, and 4 doe walk out 20 yards away. One large doe was within 4 yards at one point, before they finally wandered off none the wiser...at least until I fell out of my climber because I was starting to get thigh-cramps <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I had deer within range of a shot 75% of the trips into the deer woods this fall, which I attribute solely to (a) being higher off the ground, (b) better scent control, and (c) better concealment with ASAT. The first point illustrates ASAT.

2) When I first got the ASAT, I sat in a medium-cut (~16 inches high) clover/grass pasture, pretty much just for S&G. By nightfall, I had been visited by a flock of turkeys within 10 yards and a red fox almost urinated on this &quot;funny bush&quot; sitting in the middle of the pasture.

This Spring, I'll be wearing my ASAT over my RT Woolrich, topped with my Mossy Oak Shadowleaf vest. Late morning, I'll strip off the wool and go with jeans and the ASAT.
