Which Predator Camo

Cromm · May 14, 2011, 05:28:00 PM

Hi all,
I am wanting to buy some of the Predator camo, but would like to know what you guys think of it?
I live in the UK so cannot see it first hand the web photos make it look great (but that's it job) so just not sure which colours to go for.
I was thinking Grey Fall and Spring Green, but it looks like they don't do all their range in that colour so may go for the Brown and the Green Deceptions...........
Please let me know what you guys think.

You can't go wrong with any of them.

If you are hunting something like deer, an animal that does not see color as well as movement, then the brown deception and fall grey are perfect choices. If you are hunting something that sees color and you are in a green environment, then the spring green is great.

All of them do a very good job of breaking up the human outline.

When I wear camo preditor is my choice. The fall grey can be a little on the white side depending on the terrain. Great for treestand and inthe winter woods. That's what I wear for late fall and winter if I wear camo. For turkeys I use the spring green. I like it better than the deception bug I haven't tried that pattern. The turkeys don't mind it. Like Joe said you can't go wrong with any of it. You won't look like a black blob at further distances like you will with some other camo's.

I wear Predator. Agree totally with smokin joe and magnus. Predator is a disruptive camo (as opposed to a blending camo) that accomplishes what you're after with a deer or elk and that is not necessarily to look like a blueberry bush, just to not look like a human. Different story with turkeys (or waterfowl, for that matter) ASAT is the clearest example of disruptive, but Predator blends a little better than it does. Its contrasts make it work.

I've hunted with the Predator camo quite a bit over the years. (my favorite) I typically used Fall Grey, but after quite a few hunts with Terry Green who always uses the Spring Green I've become sold on it's versatility... regardless of time of year or location.
It just seems to blend in everywhere. Here are a few examples....

I live in the piney woods of southeast Texas with all of it's evergreen pines, evergreen live oaks and evergreen yaupon. Spring Green is my favorite pattern and I've also got Fall Gray and (I'm glad I did this) Fall Brown before Predator discontinued Fall Brown in favor of Deception. I'm not a Deception fan.

If you have lots of greenery, you can stand in front of the greenery and you'll blend in so well, animals can't see unless you move.

As said, all of it is great. I'd have to say that I think the fall gray works best in treestands after the leaves fall. And it really works fine other times of the year as well. Unless you are in a really dark background, I think it is probably the best.
But my human eyes like the color of fall brown or spring green, so I have camo in that as well.

We have been wearing Predator Camo for 3 years and loved it so much we became a dealer. All patterns are great but our overall favorite if I chose just one is the Brown deception we are wearing it now for spring Turkey and wear it all the way though Whitetails in the December Treestands when the leaves are all gone.

Central NC is where I hunt most and I prefer the Brown Deception pattern. I do want to get a Spring Green shirt for turkey hunting.....Randy

Thanks everyone on letting me know what you think of the camo.
I will have a look at some photos and try and work out what to go for.
Thanks again all.

If you can find the original brown- I like it better than all the others. It has a lot of lighter tan colors. Works in all settings. I think the fall grey is too light in many situations. I can not believe they quit making the brown.

Hi Cromm,
They say this is one of the best camo's in the natural world, I'm inclined to agree.

predator brown deception, going to end up in my arsenal for sure.

I like this for wooded or South Tx.

Terry Green · May 17, 2011, 09:55:00 AM

IMO....fall gray is TOO LIGHT for ground hunting....

Fall Brown or Spring Green is best overall.

Since most animals are color blind...I opt for Spring Green almost exclusively...but I do put fall brown to use on occasion.

90% of my hero pics I'm wearing Spring Green...and the other 10% I'm wearing fall brown.

I like the original pattern the best.

I'm with Terry,when I wear camo its usually the green,in later fall brown,often I'll mix the two.best camo there is.

KSdan · May 17, 2011, 02:25:00 PM

Love the ORIGINAL brown. Took this deer off the ground at 7 yards! Never saw me!

May 17, 2011, 06:49:00 PM

I settled on fall brown about 7 years ago....best I have found and have no reason to look further.
