It works?
All these dang ASAT posts forced me to buy a 3D leafy suit. Got it on Friday. Couldn't get out till Sunday pm. When I first looked at the thing, I thought "there is no way that any half sane deer is going to be fooled by this". I had previously bragged to my wife, prior to opening it, that I had "obtained invisibility!" (like the kid's video games) Well, since I bought the dang thing I tried it out.
I'm in a tree that looked great when I hung the stand and this was the first time I went there since. Now every leaf is gone and I'm sitting fifteen feet up in the middle of nothing. I thought this would be quite a test. An hour before sundown I rattled and stood up with my bow, having seen nothing all night. Ten minutes, nothing. Sit down, hang my bow way above me (bad location for bow holder). Hear something behind me. Stand up, grab bow and move all over stand to see nothing. I turn around and there is a 2 year old buck right in front of me staring at me from 20 yards. Well, I assume the usual staredown or snort and run will occur. Nope. In about ten seconds, he starts to nibble and hang around the tree like nothing happened. Amazing.
I don't know how, but this stuff works. I let the buck walk but you all made me a believer.
