I own several army charcoal filled chemical warfare two piece suits (Get them from Gary-Sportsmans Guide). Wear shorts under it early in the season, more when its cooler weather. Don't wash em'. I just leave them on the wash line on a rainy day, toss them in the dryer. I've used all sorts of camo including a long sleeve ASAT as my outer garment on a warm Texas afternoon. I can honestly say I have not been busted, not even once, while wearing the chem suits. Bowhunting since 1963, used WWII camo back then.

I bought predator camo when I first started bow hunting on the advice of other bow hunters at the proshop.

I have predator fall grey and predator deception. It has worked well with being on the sage brush prairie or the pine timbered mountains. I have some other camo that I got on sale but primarily I wear my predator camo with good results.

None of it is sent loc and only one pair of pants are waterproof.

Nothing but Fields-Edge for me Thanks!!!

After the last two years waring it...Ive been 5 times within 15 yards of 6x6 bulls and them never knowing i was there. Then last Nov.22 2003 my friend harvested a 8x6 Non-Typ mule deer that scored net P & Y 191 6/8 and is pending # 1 in Washington State for archery. We dont Tree stand hunt here out west ....We hunt on the Ground and stalk

We will spend $1000 on a bow, $100 on a dozen arrows, $300 on a tree stand and then skimp on what may be the most vital link...our camouflage. To me this is like having a $1400 dollar rifle and feeding it $.25 ammo.
If you have taken the time to do the research, to own the best gear, why would you skimp on the camo?
Ohhhh.. probably because I've had deer walk within feet of me without knowing I was there while wearing blaze orange , while wearing jeans & t-shirt , while wearing red & black checked wool , and numerous other ensambles over the years!
Any other questions?

I buy King of the Mountain, or sleeping indian design wool. Expensive but will last for ever. If you rip them they fix them (K O T M). Warm, wet or not. Will never wear them out. Pattern doesn't matter to me. If a deer looks up 30 ft and sees me in a pine tree... He can live. i payed a LOT of $ for my set of clothing. With that said in total i have spend less then 100 dollars/year on clothing and boots. Thats not bad because it never has to be replaced. SCENT control is OVERRATED. Whats the point? If you don't play the wind you are still missing animals. You don't filter your breath, you don't skimp on the chili the night before a hunt. I know this goes against everyone on this post. I did my own studdies for 3 years, i used extreme scent control. I spooked .5/10 deer. The 3 years before and the 2 years since i have spooked .6/10 deer. I save the $ and the peace of mind of not worrying about the scent on my clothes. Just my thoughts...I do it different then most people. With that said Scent control can never hurt your chances... unless you don't play the wind.

I bought it because I can get a set of Camos (Pants and a Shirt) for under $50.00.
I don't think that this is that unusual. We will spend $1000 on a bow, $100 on a dozen arrows, $300 on a tree stand and then skimp on what may be the most vital link...our camouflage. To me this is like having a $1400 dollar rifle and feeding it $.25 ammo.

but hey, it's camo, it breaks up my outline, it's Realtree.
I think if you do some side/side comparisons or look at some of the other posts around here you may find out something that may surprise you.[&o][]
Well you don't need 2 bows a day, every day, to hunt with in the hot months of the season. I like the looks of the ASAT but I own $700+ worth of typical hradwoods camo that I have accumullated for all different types of weather and conditions and it would take many more times that in ASAT$$ to make wholesale replacements. I will buy an outfit this summer to try out though and I'm sure I"ll like it.
