Asbell wool color question
« on: September 28, 2012, 10:51:00 PM »
I hunt in hardwood forrests with scattered pines throughout.  I only deer hunt later in the season when it gets cooler here in Arkansas so that I can hang my deer.  I'll also wear it while hiking, fishing, and around town.  Orange is my favorite color but I'm not sure if that would be the best wool to get for hunting.  Which pattern would you go with?

I'd go with the Evening Stand Brown.  All three pictures look good, but I like this one the best.  Good luck with your season!

I have one in evening stand brown, and like it a lot.  That little delta plaid is real nice, too.  I like all three, but tthe last one seems a better fit for a partially snow-covered landscape.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.

I'd be asking which one the womens like best..the deer won't know the difference.

I got several of them and the LDP does blend good with fall and winter woods.

Depends on how much of the understory or canopy are dark.  Around here we have lots of fir trees at all levels so I went with esb. Though I like the ldp as well. If I was going to be in a teestand the most during late season the lighter ssb would look good against an open sky bare branch background.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Maineac hit it on the head.  The SSB would be perfect with the sky and branches as your background.  Either the ESB or LDP would be the choice with darker backgrounds.  So you really need to order at least two to give yourself some options  :thumbsup:

I hunt in the Silent Stalker and the Evening Stand Brown.have shot deer at very close range wearing both on the ground in natural blind situations.I think movement has more to do with getting caught than color.Will have a Little Delta Plaid soon.

You can't go wrong with any of them. I have a Silent Stalker Green and the Evening Stand Brown. I think your SSB and ESB would be better all around choices with the ESB the best choice. I have a vest AND a GFA quiver with the ESB wool. I really like them.

Does Teresa still have the Sumac color?  I think it would be perfect for you.  One on the left.

She does not.  My two favorites are the Little Delta and Evening Shade.  I also really like the dark brown, tan, and olive buffalo plaid by Classic Bowman but just can't swing that much cash for a jacket.

I had a doe look right at me while wearing the evening stand green in a treestand and go back to what she was doing. No head bobbing or anything on her part.

I think all three would be very effective, but like the Little Delta the best. That's stricly a personal preference as I really don't think the deer would recognize a difference.
