Fantail Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Just placed an order for some mossyoak - bottomland camo and realized for the past 5 years I've bought probably 80% of my hunting clothes online. It's mostly the same story & patterns at retail outlets. Not that their clothes are bad but I wasn't finding the patterns I liked. Bottomland is similar to a treebark pattern, works for me. I also have some ultimate bark pattern that I like. I also have a jump suit in something of the original treebark pattern. Ripped the butt on it near the end of last season, so duct tape had yet one more purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYbuck50 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I juts bought an ASAT jacket from dayonecamo.com. They essentially custom build the garments for you, and they do special requests if you want something specific. I'll likely be picking up matching pants as well from him, but wanted to see the craftsmanship before i went all out. I will say when i called their 800 # i got Gary, the owner of the company taking my order. Good guy. I felt the same walking into ganderMountain or dicks. its all the same overpriced, rehashed patterns, that costs 100 dollars more than it should because someone wrote bone collector on the back or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYbuck50 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 That mossy oak bottomland is good stuff for NY. definitley hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 My favorite has always been Realtree Hardwoods but you cannot get it anymore http://www.realtree.com/camo/realtree-camo-patterns/realtree-hardwoods-hd Your purchase reminds of some of the Mossy Oaks original patterns. I also like Lost Camo but its so dang expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I use quite a bit of camo patterns...Predator Fall Gray is awesome in a tree for bowhunting. I agree that HD and HD green were decent choices back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have a skyline apparition suit from cabelas made from micro-suede dry plus I bought 15 or 20 yrs ago that the deer just never see. Absolute favorite, and still fits....mostly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Fantail,where did you get the bottomland camo? Straight from the mossyoak store http://store.mossyoak.com/ When I ordered there was less then a dozen in stock. Tried the usuals, cabellas, wingsupply, etc all out.

Five Seasons Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 my stuff is all old army, mossy oak breakup infinity or realtree hardwoods for anyone who watches buckcommander... from last weeks episode it's obvious you can kill a deer in a Santa clause or Sasquatch outfit. sometimes it just doesn't matte.r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfdeputy2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 what ever is on sale is my favorite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agross Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Real Tree hardwoods Grey...and yup they don't sell it anymore... I think it is a conspiracy with these hunting companies since when they change their camo patterns whackos like me (who don't like to mix and match camo...just my thing) then have to buy a whole new outfit when the old one wears out.

Nomad Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I have no idea what pattern mine our,often the top and bottoms don't match lol. I had Asat years and years ago still have the insulated bibs. I will say that stuff was the only camo I used in 25years that I truly feel made a differance . I'd wish they'd use modern fabric and offer more choices . I'm heading to their site right now, might be time to buy it again. Hum looks like they added just what I want...break out the cc.

WNY_Whitetailer Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 skyline.. designed and based in wny.. way ahead of its time. I wear Skyline Apparition XT. I have a jacket and pants in that pattern that I purchased right from their factory store in Hamburg. Been a customer of Skyline's since the late 90's.

growalot Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If it's quiet...cool if needed or warm when needed and the right price woodland camo for bow and blaze orange camo when gun hunting.....pattern makes no difference to me...learned a long time ago...if I don't move or even slowly move at the right times...deer can stare a hole through me and not spook......

Fantail Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 I've had deer within feet of me munching away, staring with that 'somethings not quite right with that tree' look. I was wearing a grey hooded fleece jacket. But thats not the point. I like to blend into my stand / spot and try not to give the game something to stare at. New camo has arrived. I like it. I typically one size up so I can layer under. Heads up - had a slight shipping issue you all might want to be aware of. I had the package shipped to work, UPS drivers very familiar with the place. Address label has 4 lines, the shipper - printed the phone # below my name instead of the company name above the address. Caused an 'exception'. I had to call ups and they got word back to the driver in time and the package was delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
