I just got in my new edition of Predator camo today, I have been using predator for years and swear by their patterns in my neck of the woods. I thought about it, emailed predator a few times and then decided on the Evolution Pattern. Never having seen it besides the web so when I opened the package I was a little suprised at the base colour, it seems very light compared to the pics I have seen...in the cream/yellow base vs. what I thought was more little brown! They said that due to the 11 earth tones it works well in everything from pines to dessert...yeah right I thought but what the heck I' ll give her a boo.

I am wondering if anybody has used this pattern and what terrain?

I wanted it for early season, as I have the brown, greys and dark browns covered for later in the year with fall brown, deception and fall grey. I was hoping this would replace my old set of spring greens for the pines but am unsure. Predator rep, said I should be able to use it in all season for my area, since he lives in Manitoba and has hunted Saskatchewan on a yearly basis therefore knows the terrain I hunt, but I am unsure. I hunt mostly popular and willows stands, some hay fields for deer. Up north for moose, elk & bears it is mixed but a lot of populars & diamond willows, except where we hunt bears which has a lot of pines. My main reason was for an up coming elk hunt in the river valleys in north eastern sask in 2 weeks. This area is prodimantly populars & birch trees on the ridges, with diamond willows down along the valley and river bank...trees may be turning yellow by then but I would guess a lot of green will still be around.

Anybody use this pattern in similar terrain?

What are your thoughts on Evolution??

I have used Predator' s Evolution and find it works well for elk and whitetail. There are probably better patterns in the Popples, but you are going to be very hard to see in the willows I can guarantee you that. It will work in the pines too.

Thanks AE for your reply.

Up where we are going the leaves are turning, especially the smaller/lower shrubs. Since I will be on the ground most of the time it should work nicely.

I got predator-in every pattern. the evolution pattern I use in the saw grass and corn...it seems to be patternd after the LAcross area were you have alot of scrub Oak and jack pines.
I hate the fact the green is hard to find...
Deception seems to be a great off shoot to the predator Idea there again to me It is abit dark...or wood like to see in the green or lighter brown.
thanks
