Title: Big Jim Bush and bag
Post by: maxwell on October 21, 2015, 09:22:00 AM
Anyone used Bush and bag system, I'm on the larger size and this looks like it might work well.  Just looking for thoughts if you have experience with them.

They are pretty awesome and not because i sell them. I sell them because they are pretty awesome!

I get lots of feedback from customers who have had close encounters while in the B n a Bag. Seems it works well for them too.

The newest model...a year old or so is also very quiet out of the bag too.

thanks, bigjim

I've been using one and it works to perfection. Had very close encounters with deer and turkeys with only a tree for a background behind me. I can get away with little or nothing in front of me. Packs up to a compact size and dries out quickly. Need to order the snow camo one soon.

I have a question, on Jim's website they look pretty dark.  Is that the case?  Will it blend with the lighter grays and browns on the ground.   Nothings dark green around us by the third week of deer season.

I'm watching this. Tired if tree stands. Not mobile enough and too much work. This looks cool. Hope it fits a big fat guy.

I have one and had a Merlin  attack my fletch on my arrow while wearing mine...if it fools a falcon's keen eye..it will fool any game...I have had game walk very close to me...it is darker but there is alot of different colors in nature...if you look in the trees you can always find a darker bush..that all you become when you put it on...I sit against a tree and stay fairly low...light and quick to put on..I use elastic fabric around my chest and bow arm to stop it hitting my string...

I bought one but haven't been out yet to use it. Was wondering what you guys use as a head covering while wearing it?

Horn Chaser, you use the bag you carry it in as head covering. Put it on and move the leaves away from your eyes and you are all set. After your eyes adjust you don't notice the screen.

I use two pieces of parachute cord on the eyelets and wrap them around me to pull it in tighter.  You may need to do a little trimming for string clearance on you bow side.  With the added parachute cord, I can also use mine as a blind of sorts when I only need one sided cover.If a deer is getting too close and may step on you, just give 'em poke with your bow tip.

Trim some leaves off the bag in front of your eyes and some off your bow arm. I wear the Crooked Horn style bino harnes to hold everything in place, think I saw Jim do that in his video, it works.
