Default Camo

Which camo do you guys prefer; ASAT, predator or a regular camo like realtree?

Keep in mind that the most effective camo is one that breaks up the human form. I use predator almost exclusivly. In the early seaon when it is still fairly hot out I use a 3-d leafy suit with not much under it. Other than that Predator is my choice. For late season tree stand hunting Predator Fall Grey can't be beat. A lot of camo patterns tend to blob out when you look at them from a distance, you end up with a human form in a dark color. Check out the predator patterns, I think you'll like them.

I think lots of that stuff is a waste of money. I use standard military fatigues. My brother bougt them from a freind in the military and I got all of my stuff for around 20 bucks. Ive killed plenty of deer in them. As long as you sit still a deer will never see you. I havent made up my mind about the scent controll stuff yet though.

ASAT and Predator are both better patterns than most of the other proprietary patterns.

I have not been scientific about it but I have done some some research on the subject and most of the patterns on the market have entirely too many dark color values. From a distance of 30 yards you look like a big green blob, not a "real tree" or real anything else.

Just this past Sunday I went to the fabric store with my wife and bought some white fleece and some colored fabric markers for making my own "snow" camo. In seasons past I've done the same thing for making camo to match specific situations like caribou hunting on the tundra and late season moose after the alders have shed their leaves. Try it, you could be the next "hot" pattern designer.
