Using white in camo brings to mind the first piebald deer I ever saw in the woods and the "white affect".

It was an overcast day and I was in a tree down in a bottom when I saw something coming towards me at about 45yds. At first I had no idea what I was seeing..just a form of brown and white patches moving through the bottom...then my mind started putting the patches together and my first thought was.."what's a goat doing down in this bottom". Then I made out the head and nice 8 point of so rack and knew it was a deer.

 I love this Predator winter white. Snow camo feels extra sneaky for some reason.   :cool:
Just one more step please!

Hey Kingsnake, I have that same outfit...8^)

Mojostick - Never really built a blind, but sometimes stack brush depending on the location, but mainly get in amongst brush or downed trees and/or logs or in open areas just snugging up against bigger trees along hedgerows. Out in the middle of cut cornfields, we've actually laid down flat before in all white camo...8^) Just like whitetails, the key is movement and trying to keep still while breaking up the human outline and white on white seemed to work best in snow but never heard of the silver thing before, but will definitely give it a try… Thanx much for the tip!

Once took a friend in late winter without snow in which he was pretty well camo-ed out except he wore a cap (can't remember the color) but it had a big white name/logo patch on the front. Anyhow, crows kept flaring way out of range and he couldn't understand why they were flaring on him and not me. Finally after convincing him to remove his hat he believed...8^)

If you can fool a crow, you can fool a deer...8^)

I totally agree. There's few critters more wary than crows.

ASAT makes a snow camo leafy if anyone wants to cover their existing clothes.Those who use ASAT will find the pattern even better with a snow background.

Go to your favorite Dept. store and buy a cheap white sweat pant/sweatshirt outfit, also pick up a can of black and brown spray paint, spray some lines on them let them air out overnite and there ya go! Oh yea cut the elastic bottoms off the pants then you can slip them on right over your boots. This actually works pretty good, it's what I've been using for a few years now!
