There's certainly a place for a Ghillie, but it's not necessarily best suited for all terrain. A friend of mine who hunts a great deal off the ground uses his only when the ground cover will permit. He's made modifications that keep the bow string clear and has done very well going undetected. I know him to rely greatly on lighter, leafy wear camo in the really thick stuff... placing more emphasis on a full face mask and breaking up his outline when the cover is sparse.
