Predator camo. I'm sold!

swampdrummer · February 26, 2011, 10:29:00 PM

Ordered a set of Predator camo in deception green last week and got to try it out this evening Still hunting for pigs. No pigs but had a big old doe come within 5 yards of me. Me standing out in the wide open and she couldn't figure out what I was. I watched her from 50 yards out coming up a trail and it wasn't till she was literally 5 yards before she noticed anything was up. Then she did the stomp and snort and ran off, flag a flying.. Then SHE CAME BACK! 3 times! I'm really impressed with this stuff!

It's funny you posted this thread. I've been looking at the Fall Gray Predator camo all week long. Ordered the camp shirt and 6 pocket pants the other day and got the shirt yesterday but they were out of the pants.(figures) Can't wait to crawl up a tree and try it out. Glad your happy with yours!

i absolutely love predator camo! Im sold on the pattern but have been less than happy with the actual product- no failures- i just dont like the design and im not happy they dont make fall brown anymore.

If you go to there web-site it's hard to believe that they don't make their products in all the different camo patterns that they have. For instance if you want a face mask you can't get it in all the patterns. Same with the hats and gloves. Just my 2cents!

Predator really needs to step up on their products (not patterns). I really don't get it.
Fall Grey and Brown work well. Bought the cotton stuff from them several years ago, but then spent a little more for GWW. It's not too bad on price if you get the basic Wolfskin, which is well made, fairly quiet, has a nice swing back for shooting, is semi-waterproof, doesn't fade much, and lasts. GWW also has Fall Brown, which Predator doesn't even carry anymore.

I have had that exact same thing happen with my ghillie suit on. It's pretty cool to have a deer that close not know what you are.

Predator comes in deception brown and green which works fabulaouly here in the NW. I have had elk look right past me when holding still in the Green. I frquently wear brown pant and green tops to hunt in the heaavy timber.

I agree I love the stuff been using two years now. That's why we became a dealer It's the best camo out there

I have predator camo, it is a second to my ASAT. Jeff a GWW makes excellent slothes and all I can get from him is Predator. Gary at Day one also makes very good clothes and he has ASAT and Predator in all materials. Wish Jeff would get ASAT.

Predator is my "go to" camo. I have 10 pairs of each: Spring Green, Fall Gray and the discontinued Fall Brown. Enough to last the rest of my lifetime. Glad I bought the Fall Brown before Predator discontinued it. I don't know why Predator discontinued Fall Brown, but I always viewed it as a big mistake.

T Folts · February 27, 2011, 08:43:00 AM

I have the deception brown and it works great. Stalking squirrels they hardly even notice you.

LONGSTYKES · February 27, 2011, 08:53:00 AM

Looks like a pretty good product. Will have to order some for next season. I think that I will try the early season light weight in the fall grey. Thanks

Ronyag · February 27, 2011, 09:12:00 AM

I got a full set of Green Deception for Xmas. Can't wait to use it. I got the vest, pants, camp shirt and boone. I am going to order the Bibs and Jacket in the next few days.

Bow Man, what ya got in stock on a 2x in Green D?

1 question, what is GWW?

NoCams · February 27, 2011, 10:22:00 AM

Gray Wolf Woolens, a sponsor here at the top. Best wool clothes out there IMHO. We switched to Fall Grey several years ago and have not been busted visually yet. Even had them look thru me when I was stuck out on the side of a tree in a clearcut. Try that with good old black Mossy Oak, haha ! The open pattern is what makes it work along with the depth and shadow effect. Totally breaks your outline.

I am a firm believer in the predator series myself. I had a funny experience with my brother in S. Az one afternoon. He and I were chasing after a few deer when we decided to split up to cover a small saddle deer were passing thru. I was no more than 30-40 yards away from him when I could tell he was looking for me. Finally he shouted "where the heck did you go?" I laughed and started waving.. I hadn't moved. If I can blend in that well with someone that has pretty sharp eyes.. I just make sure I do not skyline myself. My only concern was the material, would love to see it in a wind/water repellent type material.

kennyb · February 27, 2011, 10:54:00 AM

I agree with Steve...I use ASAT and can get so close to deer and other animals without being detected! Sometimes I use ASAT in combination with the plaid Asbell pullover too and that works great too! This breaking up of the human outline is much better than the camo that's 'in fashion' and very popular! I think it is actually more appealing to our eyes than the animals we are trying to hide from! Just my opinion. Thanks.

I'm a big believer in predator to. I think the biggest part of it though is it doesn't just look like a big glack blob like most of the other camo patterns do. Same goes for ASAT, in my opinion.

I think the off the shelf wally world stuff would work just fine if it weren't so dark and detailed though.

When I wear camo, it's my favorite

Southern Sam · February 27, 2011, 05:17:00 PM
