Default Best cammo?

I was just wondering which cammo patterns you all use for early fall, then winter or late season,especially those of you that hunt hradwoods in the midwest?I just got a catalogue from "Day One "cammo company and saw many patterns.Is the ASAT pattern good?How about materials that keep keep you quiet and warm late season.Do any of you use their fleece product?Every year it takes me allmost till the last couple of weeks to figure out how to dress to hunt.I have only been doing this over25 years,I should know by now but I'm a slow learnI like my fleece stuff because it's quiet,but I need something more in the cold season thats quiet,warm and bowhunter friendly.Thank's for any replies.

I just bought a set of the ASAT 3-D suit or whatever it is called. I think it just about perfect for what I needed becasue I have plenty of warm clothing that I can wear under it when the weather turns frosty (although todays weather might have sent me packign awful fast) and in the early season I can wear it with just a shirt some long pants underneath it on a warm October day and jsut layer anything in between. The guys at ASAT where great when I ordered direct from them and we have even had a couple follow up e-mails. If you want a wamer suit, and not the coverall type suit they are makign a waterproof insulated parka and bibs now.. That and I think their product line will be expanding in the near future to more ASAT patteren accessories and the like.

I also have some Brown Deception from Predator that I like a lot too. Don't know how it is going to work but a did use it in the woods the other day (when it was warm) and I think I blended pretty well with the background I had.

drstalker,
I swear by PREDATOR. I dont own any but I hunt with guys that do. I witnessed one guy WALK to a buck within 20 yards wearing this camo. The buck only bolted when he drew. The buck had this look on his face like "what is that? Oh, hes gonna get me" and off he went. But my friend walked up on him with the deer looking at him the whole time.

If I only used one camo it would be Predator, perhaps ASAT(never saw any in person), or Cabela's Outfitter camo. Once in a treestand I like Realtree Hardwoods, or Predator Fall Gray, but while in a tree I don't think the camo makes much difference. I find camo to be more necessary while going and coming, thats why I prefer a more open pattern that blends in better with brush, fields, and weeds. Stand back 20 yards or more and really look at Mossy Oak, Realtree, etc. They look like a dark blob.

I know this is an old thread, but it came up when I was searching posts for ASAT.
I was at the Harrisburg sports/outdoor show and recieved a full ASAT 3-D Leafy suit (for free - thanks to some good people).
The suit looks really nice, and I've heard nothing but good things about it from people on this board and at the sportsman show. I'll use it in the spring for turkeys, and I'll see how it does compared to the Advantage Timber I've been using.

Whatever I have laying around. I have killed deer wearing it all from Treebark, to Realtree, to Mossyoak, to ASAT, and the list goes on. In early season I typically wear a green pattern. Then darker as the leaves fall. IMHO, it doesn't make a damn what you wear, just be still and get hidden and you can kill a deer.
