I'm going to try those "sneaky leaves" this year on a variety of different patterns. I never really spend a lot on the high end garments. If I can find it on sale at the end of the year I might pick it up.

I've mostly used army surplus stuff.

This year a bought the ASAT leafy grean suit.

I didn't see any bears while wearing it but it seems to make me totally invisible to red squirrels and chipmunks.

For store bought: ASAT

A friend made me a burlap Ghillie pancho I like.

Later in the season when the leaves start to turn brown, I like gray or charcoal wool pants and a brown/cream plaid wool shirt.

Predator all the way  :thumbsup:

I also love ASAT for hunting standing cornfields.

After that I love earth toned wools. I am not a big fan of most of the camo on the market these days, most of it looks awesome up close but as soon as you step 50 yards away you just look like a big dark blob!

Joe is that you??? That ASAT is real nice stuff.I usually wear a plaid shirt to match the woods my ancient Original Treebark Camo pants. When it gets cold I have a couple of old Realtree jump suits. The oldest one was very productive for me over the years.

ASat all the way anytime any season. North or south works for me.

ASAT and I also have some Natural Gear but I am looking to go to strictly ASAT. It works to good not to.

I prefer a light and airy thong in whatever pattern the salesperson happens to be wearing that day...and of course a split walnut.

But if it's cold, I'll definitely have my Chanel scarf handy....

Whatever has plenty of light bits in it and doesn't cost too much *and* is nice and quiet.  Right now, I have some mossy oak variant, I think.

Old style woodland camo, a little mothwing, maybe some ASAT, some old Mossy Oak, I have a predator shirt, and some plaid. Pretty much anything that doesn't match. I may look into the Weber head gear if I can find a way of strapping it on!

My favorite is what ever is clean in my many Rubbermaid containers in the garage.  I mostly buy whatever is on sale.  I do like my one Sticks-n-Limbs jacket then the trees drop their leaves, but ASAT or something similar would do as well.

I've been moving away from the printed camo patterns for the last few years and wearing more muted pants and plaid shirts and jackets with good success.  I think I get busted less in a wool plaid shirt than most camos.  Except for the shoes, this is what I was wearing when I shot this buck.  He looked up at me, too.

Legolas,

I just saw your post, that's great.  My best spot is an 42 acre suburban property.  The best camo I could probably wear is dressed up in greasy jeans like an illegal immigrant with a leaf blower in my hand.
