Just curious if you dress up like a pile of leaves when bow hunting.

I thought about getting one at Cabelas the other day because its supposed to keep Mosquitos off as well as looking really cool

Got a buddy that does it, but don't wear if your goin hunt a WMA or NWR. Got a whole nother breed of morons out there, shooting the Honey Island Monster would look cool until they find out it's not.

He said he's frozen while walking up on a deer on his family's food plots and they just go about there business like he wasn't there.

I've come close to buying a cheap one a few times but just never pulled the trigger. When I see one on sale with cash to burn I'll probably get it, just another excuse to spend money on cool hunting shite

I wear one. I have the redhead one and it works well. its not the easily torn cheap material and it lets a little breeze through.

The only thing I do when bow hunting is use a face mask, or old school it and put on some camo paint.

I'm usually high enough in a tree stand to not have to worry, are you guys talking about ground hunting?

Seems like it would be a lot of movement either way when drawing back.

I've been thinking about getting one for a long time now, just never really took it seriously.

no, but i do wear a mask and gloves, so am covered head to toe in camo. I have a buddy who kills way more deer than me who wears one, but he hunts Davis Island where they have tons of deer, and few hunters.

I miss working at Cabelas. Used to get all kinds of sweet deals. Too bad I was in school and broke at the time.

I might be more apt to buy one if I didn't think I would get mocked for wearing it.

You can get one much cheaper if you go through like an army surplus store. I think they have one in Gonzales. I've done some serious thinking about getting one
