Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

What's the difference? Potato... PotatO?

Is one better than the other? Any situational differences?

Personally, I like the advantage timber style better for aesthetic reasons.

Last year I went to Atvantage Timber but in the years past I have used other styles. I am very happy with the Advantage Timber but I do not know if I would say that one is better then the other.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

I have two sets of Mossy Oakk. The original and the new Shadow Bark. Both are perfect in Washington State and I prefer them over advantage. But if the truth be told, I wouldn't mind having a couple sets of advantage too. One should always, where possible and practical, have several sets of camo to match the area yoiu're hunting.

I use Mossy Oak but have been known to mix & match while turkey hunting..........basically they are the same $hit but different names...............just my .02 cents worth.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

I use both patterns.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

Moosehead, hit it right on the nail. Its all about personal preference. I have both and interchange them all the time. Be more concerned with the quality of the garment and the features you want then the camo. Up here in Ontario we have to wear hunter orange anyway so camo really is merely preference.

Hey 340WBYMAG...we only have to wear Hunter Orange during the firearms season....full camo during the archery season...wouldn't want to confuse our neighbours to the south...as I said previously....I too mix & match......Brampton Mike

I think most of the camo's out there these days are pretty good. The trick is to match it as closely as possible to the terrain, etc. that you hunt in. There are a lot of options but I do like that Mossy Oak.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

I've been using the Natural Gear (Natgear) camo here in NC for 3-4 years now. I also have several patterns from Mossy Oak and Realtree so i just mix and match. It works well with all terrian and any game that i hunt. The key though is movement, it doesn't matter what you wear if you move you'll get busted.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

Mykey definitely hit it right on the head. You can wear any camo patterns you want, but if but if you move it doesn't matter.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

I got NatGear too, since I hunt out of pines a lot.

I like the MossyOak Breakup a little better, only because it is darker and will therefore hold dark enough color through gazillion washings.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

truth be told neither is worth writing home about.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

Don't get caught up in the marketing trap. One camo is as good as the next. THe animals are looking at it, not people. I like the look of Mossy Oak, but I don't think the deer or turkeys know the difference.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

I have used both, I like the look of the advantage timber,
but would love to get some of the natural gear.
What is important is to use a detergent w/o uv brighteners!
Any camo washed in regular detergent will glow blue in a deers
eye as they see into the UV spectrum!!! Supposedly deer don't pick up the hunter orange because their vision is poor in that range of the spectrum

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

Camo is Camo as long as you blend in with Mother Nature, sit still, and are scent free.

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

LOL....i was hoping this topic would go in the direction that it did in the last couple of posts. i get caught up in the camo fashion statement as we all tend to...i use mossy oak, timber ghost, advantage, treebark, realtree ect...etc..ect you name it i got it, and 2 yrs ago my father and i were in deer camp and the weather was extremely hot and he killed a deer while wearing a tee-shirt and a pair of jean shorts. he turned to me and said jokingly you just keep impressing the camp w/all those fancy clothes of yours and ill fill the freezer...LOL. camo patterns are created to appeal to people not animals. so as 1950kid stated "don't get caught up in the marketing trap." take it from someone who knows first hand...it can get expensive..

RE: Mossy Oak -v- Advantage Timber
 

nodose is correct. The entire camo craze, as well as many of the tools we "can't hunt without", are marketing ploys. There have been more deer harvested in the U.S. using 30/30 rifles than any other, and there have been more deer harvested by men wearing non-camo pants and jacket. If you read many current hunting magazine articles, the 30/30 is no longer considered an effective deer rifle. Gun manufacturers and hunting gear manufacturers cannot stay in business if they don't convince the hunter to keep buying more stuff. My best advice is to stay on stand and stay still. Good luck

Truth be told, good ole GI Woodland BDUs work weel too.

As far as which works better; you have to know where you hunt. In my area of SW PA in my woods for archery season what blends best depends on the foilage. Early season, it seems Advantage Green, or New Mossy Oak blends well. Mid and late, Advantage Grey or Mossy Oak original; now that we are into the leaves are changing/falling Forrest Floor fits in with the yellows/beiges/oranges better. If you hunt corn fields be cutting MO/Realtree Shadow Grass

Combine with a good scent cover; Robison Labs Fall Blend or HS Dirt. They are everywhere and won't really be out of place.

Most applications; a combo of MO and Advantage. If you live in the high plains, check out Montana Camo.

99 out of 100 adult deer can't tell the difference! (LOL)

Camo is for the hunter not the game. Pick what you like best and just don't move when they come in. You can wear anything as long as the wind is right and you watch your movement:). Don
