i think it has its purpose but isint the total solution. my biggest reason for not using it much anymore is if bear and turkey can see color i think they could pick out the ASAT. all my hunting buddies use to be able to pick me out hunting a field edge. another problem i have is the use of tan and brown in the color pattern in big patchs. i know im over reacting but with all the hunters out there in my state i dont feel like wearing any color resembling the color of a deer. the black lines cutting throught the pattern look like antlers in a way also. i just dont want to take a chance and seldom wear my ASAT anymore. i believe in anything 3-d leafy with a good mix of the natural colors.
