Default Home made 3D suit

I don't have 2-3 hundred for a 3d suit so I just made one. Took a trip to wally world and went to the arts-n-crafts dept and bought 3 bunches of fall color leaves for 94 cents each. I then separated the leaves from the stems and sewed them onto my run of the mill camo suit. The result is below. Tell me what you guys think (bad or good), if it'll work, and if itneeds more leaves.

Special credit goes to my wife for helping me put this together.

Looks good. I wear all kinds of camo of different pattern and such. Honestly it is usually very dense camo which I now believe is inferior to open camo. I'm saying this because when I see deerI've hadthem look in my direction and they don't find me. They just go on about their business. So my primary concern is staying quiet.

So essentially what I'm saying is that I'd pass on theleaves for the sake of stealth.

I would say a bit more leaves, but you are trying to fool deer, not me !

Otherwise, great job, and good thinking.

I believe that if the leaves are moving, then you should be moving to. Saying that, if the wind is blowing and your just sitting there like a knot on a tree (HAHAHA) then I think deer can pick you out better. They may not know it is a human but they can tell when something isnt right in an area. I wear the leafy suit pants. I dont wear the jacket because its too noisy when I move.

Due to somewhat popular demand, I have included 14 more pairs of leaves though it's a bit hard to tell. Take notice to the hat hanging on the rack that was also decked out. I'm excited about trying outmy new get up now. LOL

I did the same years ago with Mossy Oak full foilage camo coveralls; nailed my 1st turkey with a bow wearing this and sitting on a 3 legged stool with no blind. Good luck!! HCH
