Spring Green or Green Deception?
« on: January 20, 2010, 03:32:00 PM »
Need some new camo for Turkeys this spring...  If you use the Predator Camo which do you like better?  The Green Deception seems to be a bit darker overall...  Leaning towards the Spring Green, but still open...

Let's hear it...

Spring Green, for sure. It also works really well for early season deer and for spring bear hunting.
I took photos of both and the Spring green breaks up the form better, at least to my eye. I also prefer Fall Brown to regular Deception--they should still be making it!

I like the green deception but I haven't seen the spring green.  I'll have to look into it.
Chasing my kids and my degree for now but come next fall the critters better look out.  ;)

Well after looking at them both I'd say you can't go wrong with either.  I do believe that the spring green pattern is a more versatile pattern an could be used in just about any season or terrain.  Wish my local shop would've had that pattern when I bought all my deception stuff.

In the right material, I prefer the Spring Green. As much as I love my Predator Brown Wolfskin, I had the same clothing in green and I found it to be too "shiny". If it can be had in cotton, which should be fine in the warmer spring temperatures, I think the Spring Green would work very well. Mike

The way I understood it, the Deception patterns were originally designed for BIG objects like ground blinds.  I like Spring Green regardless.

Jeff,

I have used both and honestly if comes down to what you like better.

The base colors are basically the same and both blend well with early season foliage.

Basically you can not go wrong with either and like I wrote above the decision is really which one do you like better.

Check out the pictures on the predator camo site and you will see what I am talking about

Spring green. It breaks up your outline MUCH better.

Jeff,

I think Spring Green would be more versatile, but if you are consistently backing into dark green trees or bushes like cedars, then Deception Green might be better. The Deception tends to "blob up" more than the Spring Green does.

I'm still trying to figure out what Terry's choice would be.    :saywhat:  I know he does seem to like GREEN!    :rolleyes:

I think they are both good patterns, I have Spring green and really like it.
I have always said the Big Major Camo companies have too dark camo, especially for Georgia where it is green from March to November.
I just don't understand why Predator is so expensive for a pair of cotton pants   :(

For me it would be hands down Spring Green. Green Deception, while good, wouldn't even be a close second.

The spring green is a great pattern. Have a friend wear some step back thirty yards and check it out. No blobing the stuff is great. I put mine in the wash with a bit of rit dark green dye. It toned ever so slightly, it's perfect.
