Speaking of Camo
#11
I'm in the process of buying new clothing actually. I based my search on quality first. Also, customizing to my needs. I like being able to add pockets, different liner options, detachable hoods, etc.... That's why I'm settling on Grey Wolf clothing. The guy who owns has bent over backwards for me to ensure I was ordering exactly what I wanted. He sent many, many samples of material, insulations, wind/rain barriers for me to choose.
Yeah, its pricey, but clothing to me is as important as the bow I carry with me into the woods.
Oh yeah, its comes in Predator camo!

Last week Davidmil and I went hunting. We were about 50-70 yards apart. When the sun came up, all I could see in his tree were his MO boots and booney hat. Those two things really stood out; but, the rest of him in ASAT was well....like it wasn't there.
He said that my ASAT (which was head to toe) looked great - meaning that he couldn't really see me.
I always knew I looked better than him.

But why did you purchase the camo you are currently wearing?
I will have a 3-D style suit to wear over top of it this fall.

I'm wearing my ASAT suit mainly because it was free. My dad and I were hunting about 200 yards apart in some thick stuff, and he felt sorry for me because I was wearing Realtree coveralls (that didnt quite cover all, but thats a different story), and could make a distinct faded blob of me. So I got ASAT for Christmas, and I'll be giving it an extensive test this turkey season (with bow), and during deer season.

Matt:
I haven't finished evaluating this ASAT stuff yet. It looks good to Dave and me, but we only have 'dear' eyes and not 'deer' eyes.
I've been spending way too much time with him.[

I'm very excited about it because he has been seeing and NOT spooking a lot more deer than me for about as long as he's had that ASAT. I knew he was seeing more deer and he kept telling me that they didn't spook; I just hadn't figured out why. I've seen him in his stand and he moves around a lot more than me. I know that my BO is a contributing factor for not seeing more deer and I'm hoping that the ASAT counteracts this problem.

This will sound strange to most, but I saw and killed more deer in my old Treebark suit, and the older it got the better it seemed to work. Don't have it anymore, but love my Predator suits. May give ASAT or Cabelas Outfitter series a try this fall, but my Predator will be ready.
Mossy Oak and Realtree just look more like a blob during some situations and depending on the light, although in certain circumstances they work well.

If you have taken the time to do the research, to own the best gear, why would you skimp on the camo?

And I personally would rather have five "cheaper" camo outfits, clean and ready to go than one "magic" camo outfit that I have to rush around keeping clean inbetween hunts.
ASAT looks nice - I am sure it works very well..................but I have killed a few with faded Mossy Oak..........and am certain that my camo is not hurting my chances.
