Thanks for the good words Don and everyone. Navy, you should have come to MD Expo in Laplata last weekend, you could have checked us out in person, was a cool show. All I can tell you is, as an avid hardwoods bowhunter and turkey hunterfor 26, going on 27 years, and being busted wearing some of the big name patterns repeatedly, I asked myself for years why no one made a good detailed bark pattern as Trebark was no longer availavble at stores in my area. The worst part about getting busted was once the deer picked out something that wasnt suppossed to be there,I was done most of the time, they never took their eyes off me until they ran off, doing the head bob or snorting, or just turned and went the other direction. This pattern really eliminated that with the vertical pattern. Our pattern isnt trying to make a piece of fabric look 3 dimentional to animals, we tried to make it look like a tree trunk, it worked out pretty darn good. Deer see indichromatic vision which makesthe patterneven better as color isnt as important as matching the bark image and pattern although it does match allot of tree bark colors to the human eye, that took 72 strike offs to get it as close as possible with as many types of trees as we could match.It doesnt blob at distance, its reacts just like real bark does in sunlight, in shade, and under canopy, plus it doesnt blob at distance. I felt most of the patterns were getting to be too seasonal and to pretty, companies were getting away from basics for tree stand hunting in particular, our pattern isnt seasonal, bark doesnt change colors like foliage does. I decided to try and make my own pattern and make some suits for myself. My friends and some local hunters wanted me to make them suits and it eventually evolved into a company. Weve often been comapred to the old Trebark pattern by people that see the pattern online, but if you ever see the pattern up close its nothing like it. Its not for everyone, but for hunting hardwoods, the pattern just messes deer up, plain and simple, even if deer see you moving, its what happens after that, that makes the pattern really shine.
