For mainly ground hunting, I use Mossy Oak Extra Brown in my area with good success. I think it's really important to consider where one will be hunting the most when choosing a pattern. Too often, it turns into a popularity contest with uninformed buyers. They see everyone talking about one camo (ASAT for example) and due to lack of understanding, choose that as the "best" camo.

I would have to agree that ASAT looks very nice up in a tree stand in a hardwood tree, or in a light, open woods. I hunt bottom land swamps. Let me tell you something, ASAT stinks in there! It's usually overcast and dark under the tree cover, with lots of pines and thick brown underbrush. My friend has an ASAT suit and when he was standing behind a thicket, he looked pretty good, but in front if it was a whole other story. Even up in one of my tree stands, he stood out. It's just too light a pattern where I hunt.

However, I am thinking of putting up a tree stand in a relatively open area and now am faced with the problem that my Mossy Oak Extra Brown is going to stand out like a sore thumb. I guess there is really no good answer to all this. In my opinion, pick something that blends in with the colors you are going to hunt most often and improvise.

I wish I had the money to own 3 or 4 different suits. That would be ideal!
