ASAT or Sticks and Limbs
« on: August 19, 2008, 04:29:00 PM »
Which do you prefer for late season tree stand hunting? Do you have another favorite? This is for trees that have lost their leaves.

i hate hunting out of trees that don't have any cover....asat & mountain mimicry are my favorites & try to find a multi-trunked tree.  In south georgia the deer don't look up quite so much but in alabama it seems if you blink the deer will spot you!    :)

Early season, I use ASAT pants with Sticks 'N Limbs top. I also used this combo when spring bear hunting cause I'm forced to tree stand hunt.
Either is very effective but when the leaves start falling, its totally ASAT.

I will give another vot for asat I have used it for a while now. The predator stuff is good too. Though i am not sure that it is what you are looking for in your situation.

I've had very good luck with Predator both on the ground and in a tree.  Never used ASAT.  I do have a coverall in Sticks n Limbs snow pattern that is killer in late season.

Another ASAT vote here. Especially for The 3D Pro Vanish "leafy suit"it allows you to dress appropriately for the weather underneith and still have nearly ghillie suit quality camo on. I've worn shorts and a T shirt under it in hot weather and wool bibs and a thick sweater in freezing weather with equally great results.

don't leaf out (pun) the winter style camo's when leaves are gone.  "White with sticks" stands out like heck against the ground at that time, but look up into the late fall sky, ie as in you are in an elevated position, and what do you see ?    It will surprise you.

How close to slient is the 3D Pro Vanish leafy suit compared to fleece?  I like the idea of the leafy suit, but am concerned about still, late season mornings on stand and having the suit make noise.

You have to wash a 3D pro vanish suit about 20 times with a couple of pairs of canvas shoes I use 3 pairs of unworn toddler's size sneakers. that softens them up and makes them very quiet.

My ASAT 3D Leafy Wear suit was silent when I bought it.

Switched all my camo to asat this year and love it!
