I set up a trail cam near one of my favorite stand awhile back. Finally got around to pulling the sd card and had a picture that I feel really shows the effectiveness of Predator camo. Hope the photo works! Mike

Very good looks like some good blending in to me!!
Where are ya Mike ??? haha!!
Gotta love Predator. Cool pic!
Maybe its my imagination, but the pants look different from the jacket. Pants look like the orignal predator.
Tall Paul-good eye! The pants are actually Predator Gray and the shirt is Predator Brown. Bought the jacket new from Gray Wolf Woolens, a sponsor her and I picked the pants up here on the classifieds.
Man that took me a minute!!
Predator is tops !
Wow, very enlightening. That's proof right there.
Cool pic! Did ya shoot the deer?
magnus, she was moving at a pretty good clip so I passed the shot. Won't be able to get back out until Christmas Eve in the afternoon and I am hoping she comes by! Mike
I don't know that I would have found him if not for the ladder.
I've got a ton of the old predator. We bought a bunch of material when such purchases were possible and cheap. My wife can sew anything .
So many of the camos create MIB's. You know, Men-in-Black.
Really!!! a black and white photo will make any camo look impressive.
Cool pic. I love Predator camo. I respectfully disagree about any camo looking impressive with a black and white photo though.
If that same picture was taken with most of the popular patterns from Mossy Oak or Realtree, the differences would be striking. Especially since he doesn't have a large tree directly behind him.
Mike,
What is the camo type called? Thanks. Ken
Ken, it is the original Predator patter. The shirt is in Predator brown and the only place that I am sure it is available is from Gray Wolf Woolens. The Predator gray pattern is still available from several places.
Thanks Mike.
Mike, thats a great pic.
Are you wearing the cotton shirt or wool.
I love the patterns of predator camo. I have serveral shirts and pants. They are well made and last a long time. My only complaint would be that my cotton shirts make to much noise for me. Especially inside 20 yrds. Do you do anything to soften them up? Gray Wolf makes them in wool but they are a little out of my price range.

A black/white photo is much better in determining the effectiveness of a camo pattern for deer because they're essentially color blind. Color patterns that may appeal to humans in the store "blob out" when viewed as a deer would see it.
Very impressive picture... I never would've been able to pick you out without the stand there.
Nice MIKE!!! You are the DEER WHISPERER!! :notworthy:
Predator is one of my favorite. Nice picture!

Great info thanks for sharing
Enjoyed the study. It confirms what we deal with on the Haul Road. The regular dark camo is visible for very long distance and you can't even tell it's camo until very close. The caribou really key on it unless they are up against the rare dark background.
I got a set from David I'm sold on the pattern totally....
amicus, I am wearing the wool, and yes it is pricey. I only paid full price for the shirt, but it has gone up quite a bit since I bought mine over ten years ago. If I needed to replace it today, I would look real hard at polar fleece....maybe with a lining/windblocker?! For tree stand only, I really like the gray, but for all around use the brown appeals to me more. These are just personal opinions and I don't think animals care one way or another. ;) Mike
Switched to Predator Fall Gray several years ago and have not been VISUALLY busted yet..... now if I could just get them to hold still while I pinch their nostrils closed....... :laughing:
Second only to ASAT IMO.
