Mossy Oak Treestand
 
What do you guys think of this pattern? I was just looking around and saw it. I'm sure its already been discussed but I was just curious what everyone thought.

Looks exactly like Realtree AP.

This year I'm going to wear a super secret camo

it starts with ultimate and ends in camo

Treestand looks like AP?????????

I think treestand is Mossy Oaks best pattern to date. IMO the background needs to be lighter to give more contrast but they are on the right track.

I think its a big step for Mossy Oak. I wasnt a fan of their old camo. Too dark for me. This stuff looks much better!

I think it looks really good. It sucks they are coming out with it now, I just purchased all new clothing in December. I guess I will have to wear the old stuff for a year.

They are all going to that open pattern !!

I really dont like Ultimate Camo..Its a very closed pattern..and to deer, you look like a big dark blob, unless you are STUCK to your tree. I wouldnt wear it.

For being on a stand, 12-18" off of the tree...open patterns are the way to go. Otherwise, you look like the trunk of a tree, growing out of the middle of mid-air.
Droptine, I see your comment on UC and thats cool, everyone is entitled to an opinion. It's just that your reasoning is wrong. The idea behind UC is to blend into the tree, become one with the background. You do not have to bear hug the tree to get this effect.


What would look more natural in the above scenerio. The UC pattern or some open (light pattern)? What would draw you eye more easily? Yes that photo is darkish.. because the surrounding light (or more accurately thelack of light) makes it dark.

If your hunting on a sunny day...


Don't want to be "stuck in a tree" and hunt the ground..no problem.


Have at it ^^ (By the way the hunter is above the arrows.. Don't strain your eyes ;))


If the pattern isn't what you wish to hunt in thats fair..There are plenty of patterns available to fit everyones eye. The word "blob" is a new catch-phrase to the modern hunter and instantly throws up a caution sign. This camo was designed because of that blobbingissuein other camos. Hence the reason for the long winded reply.. :D

RE: Mossy Oak Treestand
 
Good post /\ /\ To me, you wouldn't look like a tree trunk coming out of thin air. Tree trunks grow in all different directions and I think you'd look like part of the tree.

Besides, deer aren't all that good at discerning that minute of detail. I believe that UC is just that...... Ultimate Camo!

RE: Mossy Oak Treestand
 
Gr8, I know that UC has its loyal following and every one has their own opinion on what works but every single pic that any one has put up about UC(including these) is with the hunter either standing directly in front of thetree , is covered with so much foliage that you could hide a tank equally well, or a very slight angle with the hunter tight to the tree. No one has posted any pic other wise. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it has been said before about setting up where the deer will be coming and all they will see is you in a direct line with the tree. I have yet to know where the deer will be coming every time. You can make an educated guess but everywhere I have hunted the deer seem to have the uncanny ability to do exactly opposite of what the "plan" is.

In the thread below there is only one pic from all of those posted that the hunter is on the side of the tree and he instantly "blobs" against the back ground. I'm not saying that treestand is going to do much better though it is a much better pattern than the old Break Up patterns.

Yep!! I'll stick with open patterns. Predator, Asat, etc. More open areas up above than Tree trunks;)

I have the God's Country in the Fall pattern. It's a really nice pattern. It's more "orange" than it appears but in the right tree at the right time of fall..it's awesome.

Great start to a new look.I think the camo is perfect forbreaking upyour outline when on stand.I have always had great results with allmossy oak camo.I prefer it over real tree which is to brown for the areas I hunt.

Todd I understand what you are saying but RT has stepped in the right direction with the AP. I'll have to see the MO in person before I decide. I have some picsI took a week after season on some public ground.....to say the least it shocked me. All I had were an AP jacket and a Predator Fall Gray jacket at the time. Needless to say.....the AP shinedagainst the Predatorin brush and against a tree from different distances. This coming from a longtime Predator fan.

Greg, as much as we admire Todd and his WKP team, he's a Predator guy through and through, period so take it with a grain of salt.

New companies don't stand a chance with some people, it's always been that way be it bows, camo, etc....

I'm excited about Andy's Ultimate Camo, there are instances where it will be the best pattern available. I'm also excited about Enigma's Gen 2 and can't wait to see their 3D, again, applications where it will be the best camo available and I have Predator Fall Grey and Brown, again, certain applications.

Any version of new camo that goes to a more open pattern including more contrast is a step in the right direction.We will all be successful regardless of what we are wearing.Personally what I have witnessed in the last few years with my use of open patterns has me convinced of their effectiveness.Enigma,predator,asat are my patterns of choice.

Germ 02-16-2008 07:14 AM

RE: Mossy Oak Treestand
 
Can you get a 82nd in Treestand camo:D
I will let everyone know, I am done with MO and RT;)

They still make a pattern for our eye's IMO


Here is what I have learned. When I see animal approaching this is where I am open to them. I do not have to move. When a deer is in front of me is when I have to move, and I want to match what is behind me.

A big mistake this year was setting up not to be seen from an approaching deer, when deer got in my zone I was picked off. I was picked off in three different open patterns.

Setup is the bigger deal, but at the moment of truth when I have to move, I want to blend into the background as much as possible.

For everyone's info I deal in No clothes, Zero[8D]I hope I am allowed an opinion;)In places UC will be fine, but up in the Air I have my preferences and they are Not based on what I do or do Not sell, nor am I on any one's camo staff. I wore Predator and ASAT when they weren't cool:DIt's not the only camo I have but it is my favorite.

So what I am getting here is that because someone is an HNI member, if that member comes out with a product, the fellow members that like the product can sing the praises all day long from the roof tops but those that think that it isn't what it's cracked up to be shouldn't????????

I really hope this placeisn't starting toturn into another Archery Talk.

The point above was......from one small, upstart businessman to another.......sometimes saying NOTHING might be the best tactic.

The point you're missingis..I shoot an STS system on my bow. For the price, adjustability and delivery, it was right for me. But as soon as someone asks about a String Suppressor, I almost instantly point them towards you... Why? doesn't benefit me. I don't seek out a thread to say anything or advertise another make. It's not for me so I just let it go. Does this make sense to you?

I dunno maybe I embrace this forum too much as a community..and that certainly isn't like Archery Talk!

Rob/PA Bowyer 02-16-2008 08:01 AM

RE: Mossy Oak Treestand
 
big bulls, I see you took the liberty of quoting me as well. My thoughts were to CM, and not in anyway directed to an HNI member (company) particular, it's the same no matter where you go, start up companies get no respect (members here or not) until they prove themselves and that's sad in a way. A good product is a good product no matter where it comes from and bowhunters are just too set in their ways. We need open minds, including me. Everyone has opinions that is for damn sure and I don't want to see any suppressed.

Gr8 had a great post, all things are not for everyone, that's why there is so much diversity in the industry and most all are selling, you like that, I like this and we both can be successful and have opinions and no, AT sucks, HNI rules. :D [8D]
