I started using Sitka Gear last season. I mostly like the material and design (pockets, zippers, fit, durability, etc.). The pattern is at least as good as anything else.

Of course we aren't just trying to go undetected by the deer we hunt. Its also to our advantage for the turkey, jays, crows, etc. to leave our presence unannounced.

While it's been known for a long time that birds see colors well (that's why many male fowl are so colorful) research is showing that deer and other mammals detect color differences better than thought, especially blue.

I certainly agree though the very best clothing in the world can do little to hide quick or constant movement. If I feel invisible, I act invisible.

I won't do Scent Lok.

I like the Predator Deception, Cabelas Outfitter Camo and Ultimate Camo...pretty hard to beat the Ultimate for spring Turkeys!

I dont really care about modern day camo patterns. I do like Cabelas outfitter camo. I mainly just wear wool in the plaid patterns and surplus woodland camo.

I'm a big fan of Super Advantage BreakUp Outfitter Leafy Twig 11. You've probably never heard of it, it's so cutting edge and under the radar.

I like out fitter camo in Berber fleece if it's cold enough. Blends in high and low. My warmer weather clothing is mostly predator camo.

While wearing ASAT 3-D, and hunting from the ground in Texas, I had a coyote come within two to three feet away from me, could have hit him over the head with my bow.

I also like Predator, though I haven't gotten to use it that much yet.

PaddyMac · « **Reply #27 on:** December 10, 2011, 08:31:00 PM »

Predator, definitely. But any disruptive pattern with a high contrast between lights and darks will work, including plaid.

One of these days I'm going to try plaid. In fact, I'm wearing a wool plaid shirt right now that would be good, mainly green and very light tan with thinner black lines that "fuzz" it up.

As for movement, I don't think there is very much of any pattern that will disguise movement. Deer see movement better than shape and they see it very well. Turkeys are even better.

And as soon as I saw Terry G's guillie hat I made one. Good idea.

Look at Tsunstone in his pic...... that outfitter or any other light open pattern works and the black blobby hat he has on does not ! Get you a lighter open colored hat too bud.

Sorry, but no more black Mossy Oak for me. It is Predator Fall Gray or a light / dark contrast wool plaid only now. When Mason and I started hunting in trees from 50-200 yds apart instead of the same tree and made the switch to Predator Fall Gray it was obvious what works and what does not. Yesterday we were about 100 yds apart and he had on some Mossy Oak pants and I could see them plain as day compared to his Predator top. His legs were, " Black ", compared to his top. JMHO

TwoTracks Custom Camo (Wool Vest), Mirage Leafy Wear, Timber Ghost. Starting to like the Predator& ASAT stuff.

My primary camo is my ASAT 3D Leafy Suit. I wear it early to late season. On the ground or in a treestand.

Beneath it, early season I wear cotton pants and shirts, and if its cool, merino wool ase layer. AS the temps drop, I add a wood sweater, fleece vest and either wool pants or wool bibs. I love the leafy suit as I can wear it over any clothes. Now I shop for clothes that perform for the climate I intend to hunt, and not worry about if I can get the clothes I want in the pattern i want. Im sold on ASAT. Predator is good too, used it for years, but like ASAT even more.

Another vote for Predator "Deception".

The old school Tree Bark camo. Awesome stuff.

Shoregobbler · « **Reply #33 on:** December 10, 2011, 09:14:00 PM »

Natural Gear and Predator are my favorites.

I'm predicting that in a few years we're going to see the big camo makers moving away from MOBU-type stuff, and more and more toward patterns that incorporate the same concepts as Predator, ASAT, VIAS, etc.

But how much do you want to bet that they'll make it sound like a 'revolutionary' new concept that they just came up with?

NoCams · « **Reply #36 on:** December 10, 2011, 09:20:00 PM »

Yep, knew that when a few years ago the, " New " Vertigo came out. Only trying to copy what Predator and other open patterns already know.

I like KOM in the blowdown pattern.

Spectre · « **Reply #38 on:** December 10, 2011, 09:53:00 PM »

I have a set of bibs and a light jacket in an old pattern called ShapeShifter. LOVE it. Too bad it no longer available. Its a pine pattern. Sweet.
