RE: homemade (anything)
Also, same friend that make the stick out of pvc made his own ghillie suit. He was dove hunting near some cottonwoods in a drainage in the middle of a wheatfield and had it on, cuz a subdivision had moved in nearby and he was trying to be unobtrusive (and just having fun). Any way, doves were slow and a heard of whitetails came walking by. They spotted him and were curious and come closer (couldn't wind him). They spooked a little and started to walk off and he whistled and the got more currious and come to with/in 20 feet of him checking him out. He finally scared them off because he was getting nervous with how close they were getting. His suit is made of scaps of various colored cloth sewed to burlap; all purchased onred tag at Wally World.
