RE: will it work?
You're basically describing a ghillie suit and it should work well. The strips might interfere with your shooting a bow,I've never tried it. You can also sew on strips of burlap and other earth tones. If you've ever seen a ghillie suit you'd be impressed. Many military snipers use them.

Works decent for a gun, but sort of pain with a bow. If you didn't have to draw the bow I guess it would be alright. I have enough trouble getting my string to clear my hunting clothes without adding things that hang off from them
.
Are you hunting from the ground or a tree? If from a tree stand I see no need for this at all. Heck if you did it right you should be able to hunt with jeans and a flannel shirt. I've seen it done. Heck I killed my first deer wearing black jeans and a camo T-shirt out of a 16 foot ladder stand.

I think he meant it will break up you shilouet, or prevent the animal from seeing a blob (not that you are) when approaching. I have tried tieing cedar limbs to my legs when stalking it works.

I just read your other post about the blind. I say get the blind, then you will not have to worry so much about what you wear as long as it's dark and the deer can't see you in it.
I am thinking of going with a good blind instead of a stand for next year, especially for gun season.
