Default RE: Bad results with ASAT???

99% of my experiences with the suit were great. However, the last morning I wore my suit I decided to try a spot I've been wanting to hunt from the ground. It was very overcast that morning and I decided to wedge myself between a very large oak tree and a smaller vine infested hackberry that grew right beside the oak. I cleared the leaves out around the big oak and settled in. I had 3 different deer come through seperately right during the first 15 to 20 minutes. Each of those does busted me at about 25-30 yds and I did not move a muscle as I had no intention of shooting them. I felt like the ASAT was just to bright in those circumstances, with a dar overcast morning and being silouetted against a very dark background. I felt like I was wearing white, it was really glowing.

I know Rob and Ausie will rip me a new one for saying anything bad about ASAT, but thats my experience. However, it was late in the season and the deer were really on alert, I may have been busted in any camo, who knows. BUT, with that said, I had several great experiences with ASAT this year with deer in close, less than 10 yds and having them look straight through me, in the right environment, I think it is the best thing going.
