Obviously not Todd here...

But you're right, Rob... if I wanted all-GAME versatility (notice I didn't mention all-SEASON, because I don't think it matters to deer as I quoted myself up above...), I would definitely go with the Fall Brown.

That is indeed Wolfskin Fall Gray by GWW in the above link as well, if you want to see it up close.

I think Todd's like me, Rob... he's a deer hunter, not a turkey hunter.

Sorry, missed your question there Joel. Yes, you're absolutely correct: Gray Wolf Woolens is the only place left still offering Fall Brown.

Totally understand and I love the treestand shots of Fall Grey, again, fantastic but, even as treestand hunters, we are not always in the tree. Fall Grey is fantastic and thanks for the all Game analogy. Spot on.

True enough, bud. I know you've heard and seen this from me before, but I think it is equally effective on the ground -- to DEER. Here's a picture of Fall Gray on the ground. I think a deer would have a very tough time identifying this form as human, provided the wearer remained motionless -- and this isn't even turned to black and white or even a dichromatic view which is at best what scientists believe a whitetail can see in.



Again, this if for DEER hunters. Like I said above, if you're pursuing turkeys I too would probably suggest the Fall Brown.

That is the most impressive or possibly the most misunderstood aspect of Predator Fall Gray - Brown. On the ground, it does just as good of job breaking your outline because like Greg's picture shows - light is bouncing off of everything in the woods. Light makes things look different than we think. Then eliminate the color (what a whitetail sees) and you can see why Predator fools whitetails.

I'm not a turkey hunter, so I'm not sure what i would recommend. I LOVE spring green in the summer and early fall though!

I knew this was coming. LOL But my friend, that is not a beautiful green woods. I know it works in an open barren woods.

Like some said before and I forget who it was, I like to hide from people too and Fall Grey would make me jump out to people in a green enviroment.

Again, I wouldn't say anything bad about Fall Grey except, it's seasonal. Can't wear it year around. Now remember, I have a set in Fall Grey and wear it when the leaves are gone. I have Fall Brown which I can wear year round and I don't care for Spring Green, simply put, I don't need it with Brown and Grey.

Good Luck Rick. I knew the Engima wouldn't take long to sell. That was a deal.

Germ, is that ASAT in the last couple of pics? I think I will go with the fall brown but it looks like it will take a while to get it. My Sticksn limbs will fill in till then I suppose.
