RE: Mossy Oak Treestand
I think it looks really good. It sucks they are coming out with it now, I just purchased all new clothing in December. I guess I will have to wear the old stuff for a year.

They are all going to that open pattern !!
I really dont like Ultimate Camo..Its a very closed pattern..and to deer, you look like a big dark blob, unless you are STUCK to your tree. I wouldnt wear it.
For being on a stand, 12-18" off of the tree...open patterns are the way to go. Otherwise, you look like the trunk of a tree, growing out of the middle of mid-air.

What would look more natural in the above scenerio. The UC pattern or some open (light pattern)? What would draw you eye more easily? Yes that photo is darkish.. because the surrounding light (or more accurately thelack of light) makes it dark.
If your hunting on a sunny day...
Don't want to be "stuck in a tree" and hunt the ground..no problem.
Have at it ^^ (By the way the hunter is above the arrows.. Don't strain your eyes )
If the pattern isn't what you wish to hunt in thats fair..There are plenty of patterns available to fit everyones eye. The word "blob" is a new catch-phrase to the modern hunter and instantly throws up a caution sign. This camo was designed because of that blobbingissuein other camos. Hence the reason for the long winded reply..

Good post /\ /\ To me, you wouldn't look like a tree trunk coming out of thin air. Tree trunks grow in all different directions and I think you'd look like part of the tree.
Besides, deer aren't all that good at discerning that minute of detail. I believe that UC is just that...... Ultimate Camo!

Gr8, I know that UC has its loyal following and every one has their own opinion on what works but every single pic that any one has put up about UC(including these) is with the hunter either standing directly in front of thetree , is covered with so much foliage that you could hide a tank equally well, or a very slight angle with the hunter tight to the tree. No one has posted any pic other wise. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know it has been said before about setting up where the deer will be coming and all they will see is you in a direct line with the tree. I have yet to know where the deer will be coming every time. You can make an educated guess but everywhere I have hunted the deer seem to have the uncanny ability to do exactly opposite of what the "plan" is.
In the thread below there is only one pic from all of those posted that the hunter is on the side of the tree and he instantly "blobs" against the back ground. I'm not saying that treestand is going to do much better though it is a much better pattern than the old Break Up patterns.

Bigbulls, MeanV..I can understand if a persons loyalties lie elsewhere. As a Shop Manager, you have to endorse the brands you carry. and Dan, you have benefitted as much as anyone, on positive reviews and word of mouth.
Andy is just another one of "us" who put out, what many believe is a great product. If it's not for you, than so be it.
