RE: asat camo
In a word: INCREDIBLE.
I have had mine out on three trips now and have had amazing things happen, or rather, not happen as a result. It is incredible what you can get away with in this camo. For istance, today I sat, none too still because I was freezing my rear off, while 5 doe were bedded around me, four of them with a clear view of me. I was in a tree with just branches in the background. I simply out waited them for an hour and a half, standing up and sitting back down twice, then arrowed a nice little eight point when he came to check on them. This was a stand that I got busted in 4 times previously this season because of the lack of cover after the leaves fell.
I' ve also had several look throughs all ready. It' s great. Heck, I' m so invisible out there I don' t even cast a shadow!

RE: asat camo
Yep, I am very very happy with my ASAT 3-D Leafy Suit. I havn' t had as much testing on deer as these other guys 
but, I have seen a few deer while in it, and each of these deer should have had me busted.
Yesterday evening, right when shooting light was ending, I had a doe come in. She got to about 20 yards. From her position, there was one tree branch behind me and the rest was sky. Well, I wanted to see if I could mess with her a bit considering that it was too dark to shoot. Well, I started grunting and she turned her head my way, so I grunted again. She lifted her head and looked towards me. She actually tilted her head to a side like dogs do. She started walking towards me trying to find the deer. Well, I just kept grunting. She got to within 4 yards of my stand, and I let out another grunt. She jerked her head up and looked right through me. This deer couldn' t see me and she had no idea as to where the buck was. She got confussed and walked into the woods. She never got nervous, she was just curious. Well she walked into the woods, and then came back out and did a circle around my tree and checked a bedding area behind my stand, then she finally left!

RE: asat camo
I hunt with BigX and he will be testing the ASAT on Friday. I cant wait to hear and see how well the stuff works first hand. I bet he gets a 10 point the first day just from having more confidence.....GO HOMER!!
