RE: ultimate camo
I too am excited about this Camo, and own a complete set.After talking to Andy via PM and Email,I can say to people like Bigbulls, that when Andy asks you a question, it's not an attempt to discredit you. He truly wants another hunters insight! It gets his wheels churning.
This pattern is his starting point. It sounds as though, as thing progress, he would like to address more terrain specific patterns. But he had to start with the product that would be used by the higher number of individuals. This product fits the way MOST of us hunt, in conditions and terrains that MOST of us see. This product will work in The Midwest, The North, The South and the East. Yes, the Western Hunter may have to be morechoosey on when he can wear Original UC.
Like Germ and probably many others. I own many sets of Camo from many companies (camo junky lol).From mainstream RT and MO in various patterns and colors to ASAT, Field and Stream, Gamehide, Leafy wear..evenlesser knowncompanies such as God's Country, just to name a few.
If you think about it will any of these do a better job in disguising you from the front, and in the case of being "caught" from the side (such as if you were out on the end of your stand). I believe the 3d aspect would be confusing enough to the depth perception of your quarry, that the pattern would allow you to blend into the back-ground trees.
As someone who hunts 75% of the time on public land, I've tried to wear the pattern that would best blend in with my intended spot. Many times I get there and someone else has ruined my plans. Then when I adjust on the fly, I find the pattern I choose that day does not "fit" the new situation. I believe that UC will allow me to be more flexible and blend in, in nearly every situation, planned or otherwise..kinda like... forget the pattern, "Just Hunt"
