You might like the Asbell Shadow Plaid wool pullover.

 

 

Cozy, too.

ASAT leafy suit- as good as any ghillie suit for deer- but lighter,easier  and more snag free.
have used mine in our coastal rain forest, grass lands of alberta and in africa- awesome results all around. had a duiker at 3 yards from me in africa- kudu at 9 yards- all on the ground- ( not in blinds    :D  )
deer here all at close quarters-
by the way- what colour are deer and rabbits and grouse - not too many green oak leaf patterns in their coats , or 'pixellated' patterns - and they can be darn near invisible until they move!!
most camo's are designed to fool the purchaser- and not the quarry!    

by the way- the Zebra strips are camouflage- just not for what we think- the pattern disrupts the image in the compound eye- ie: the tsetse fly- thus fooling the zebras biggest enemy- so  not really protection from predators.
i can give the full version if anybody is interested!

I took this tonight. I have a stand with all these small yellow leaves behind me. My mossy oak leafy suit disappears in front of them.

Many years ago I wrote an article on matching your camouflage to the terrain your hunting. Since I bowhunt from the ground I did quite a bit of experimenting over the years. For me, I settled on ASAT, ASAT/Sticks 'N Limbs and Desert Camo.

Using natural blinds it's key to "brush up" in front and behind you. As long as you break up your outline and use quiet clothing to cover your movement, you'll be ok. A few pics...

Voice of experience is something to listen to. Thanks Joe.
