RE: Ghillie Suits

RE: Ghillie Suits
Ghillie suits, I don't advise using Ghillie or the 3D leafys with bowhunting, just my experience. I think they have there time and place, rifle mostly however you may get one and sware by it, my brother does. good luck!

The 3D leafysuits are no problem withbowhunting.I believe many people on here use them. This is a gun hunt for aLen's boy's first turkey, but he/we used the same suits for bowhunting the fall before with no problem.

RE: Ghillie Suits
Honestly you are better off making your own suit. They do take time, but you can tailor it specifically to your needs and use only the colors that you want. You will spend more time, but you save money and end up with a better result IMO. Netting from something like a badmitten net works. Stitch it to a set of cammies and Shoe Gew (spelling?) the knots so it doesn't come undone. Then just cut strips of burlap and pull the threads and tie them on. That way you can leave the arm clear for bowhunting. You will disappear on the ground. I would suggest against using it in a treestand however unless you are in a pine tree. In the air you just don't blend with anything. I wear one when elk hunting and have literally had elk come up and sniff me from less than a foot and mule deer walk within 10 feet. They DO NOT see you. I don't like the 3D leaf outfits myself. I just don't think they have enough depth.

RE: Ghillie Suits
i'm in agreement with huntingson on this. make your own. i did and i'm alot more proud when it works. there is a site i cant remember the name but i'm sure someone knows who sells the build your own kits. or you can get the netting, burlap, etc and do it yourself. be sure to put fire retardent on it though.
