Default Bad results with ASAT???

I got the 3d leafy suit for Christmas. Saw 10 deer the first time I used it including 3 bucks. I even got within 30 yards of 4 deer that were standing by my truck when I left. I've heard nothing but good things about this camo. People report the "look through" effect when the are hunting. I even read a story about two guys hunting and one of the guys couldnt see his partner unless he was moving. Not only does it work up close as most other pattern do or at least claim, but it works at a distance. I'm wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences with it? It appears to be the ultimate camo. Thanks for the replies!

99% of my experiences with the suit were great. However, the last morning I wore my suit I decided to try a spot I've been wanting to hunt from the ground. It was very overcast that morning and I decided to wedge myself between a very large oak tree and a smaller vine infested hackberry that grew right beside the oak. I cleared the leaves out around the big oak and settled in. I had 3 different deer come through seperately right during the first 15 to 20 minutes. Each of those does busted me at about 25-30 yds and I did not move a muscle as I had no intention of shooting them. I felt like the ASAT was just to bright in those circumstances, with a dar overcast morning and being silouetted against a very dark background. I felt like I was wearing white, it was really glowing.

I know Rob and Ausie will rip me a new one for saying anything bad about ASAT, but thats my experience. However, it was late in the season and the deer were really on alert, I may have been busted in any camo, who knows. BUT, with that said, I had several great experiences with ASAT this year with deer in close, less than 10 yds and having them look straight through me, in the right environment, I think it is the best thing going.

Belle.

Nah not into doing that.

But as you said it was late in the season on already pressured deer.

I have used it in a simular situation but early season and got to slap a yealing button buck on the butt with his mother and twin sister in full view of me, they just looked in my direction for a couple of seconds and went back eating the corn.

titleist, Ausie,...I've heard alot of good things about the ASAT leafy camo. I like the pattern but was wondering if it is as quiet as fleece or some of the other hi-tech fabrics?

Aussie-guy, did you really? Thic camo seems to have its advantages and disadvantages. Disadvantage- There are people that go in the woods and shoot at trees. Since you blend in so good they won't see you. If you are ground hunting on public property you have to be aware of this. If that would happen to me my 12 gauge with 00 buckshot would take care of that.

So your saying ASAT has a disadvantage because your more likely to get shot if you wear ASAT, and that wearing another camo brand is safer?? Thats crazy[]

No, No, No, I was actually giving it a compliment saying you blend in so well. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
