Yeah NEWSHOOTER.....is that all you got?

I might have to call BuckMagnet to take care of my light work.

Look my take on it is this. Any camoufage will work well in a given situation that compliments it's given appearance........sometimes camouflage doesn't even come into play AT ALL if you do your part right in stand location, the deer and wind cooperate etc. Heck I'm sure there are times and conditions when I could kill a nice deer doing jumping jacks in a Homer Simpson costume, but I wouldn't expect that to be exactly the best choice under a wide variety of conditions.
Camouflage such as ASAT and Predator that are deisgned to break up the human outline as much as possible are designed to help the hunter blend in , in as many environments as possible. Not just belnd in with a certain background, but to blend AND BREAK UP the human form.
Is it going to be a benefit in every occaision? NOPE..... like you said many many good deer have been killed wearing all sorts of things, but why not try to give yourself the best advantage that you can under ALL conditions. othing can make us invisible, but why not TRY to be as invisible as possible.
Let me ask you this.......you are 18ft up, and off to the side of your tree a bit with a light leaf canopy behind you, the biggest buck you have ever seen is standing 20 yards away in the open. As you come to full draw you accidentally clank your arrow faintly off your bow's riser and the deer freezes and looks up. You want to be wearing a nice dark Real Oak or Mossy Tree suit when that deer is SEARCHING for anything to give him an excuse to run? If that deer sees a human outline he's gone, or he's blind and stupid.
Be honest.
