Thread: Approaching deer in open terrain

the tuatara como stuff LOOKS good...anyone tried it out properly????
couple of years back out in open country with bro in law,he sitting in pile of rocks wearing old school dpm camo overalls..think 90s camo,green brown and black even pattern...he dissapeared at 80 yards untill he looked up.....really showed me how good simple camo is in broken ground.
duck shooting last year the boys sat under/beside root ball of fallen willow,from 50 yards they simple blended in apart from label on one shirt....that got fixed with felt pen soon after.

I'm the same. I'm not against it, it's just that I've never had the feeling that camo was the deciding factor. Add that quality is often poor when compared to alpine outdoor brands, I'm just that I'm not willing to pay money for it.
With distance, how you move is what gives you away. If sideways movement relative to your target can be avoided, you'll come a long way hiding.

Just as you, I use gloves almost all the time. Mechanix Fastfit are cheap at $20 and can be had in almost any colour. Not very sturdy or good in wetweather though, but you can use them in warm weather.
