camo pissing me off

[KFhunter]

Looking for higher end camo - something I can hold onto for ahwile.

I like the SITKA forest camo pattern, but unfortunatly that stuff doesn't fit the need I have.   It's all designed to be sat in not hunted in.   I don't want to walk 100 yards from the truck and sit my ass in a tree for 12 hours.   



What is some super stealthy camo for conifer forest?

KUIU is more mountain top stuff - which doesn't really suit my purpose for which I'm shopping.

Have you looked at kryptek's stuff?

What about the new Kuiu Verde pattern?

Okay, I'm confused.  You don't want to sit on yer a$$, but you don't want mountain top stuff

ya - I'm hunting 2-5k elevation in the trees


I do a lot of poking over the ridge, work my way down, then back over the next ridge type stuff

I do the same thing as you. I spent a ton of hours researching every camo option out there from both fo Sitka's offerings, Kuiu's Vias and Verde, and all the other ones. I was determined that money would be no object and I would get exactly what I wanted to hunt in for the next 3-5 years. I almost went with Kuiu's Verde but in the end I actually arrive at ASAT camo and bought the whole First Lite line. To me on the surface I think it is pretty ugly, but I'm not trying to impress or look cool to other people, I want to hide from Elk. I came to the conclusion that ASAT was the best possible option out there for me and how I hunt. Spend some time researching it and you might come to the same conclusion.

the verde is about perfect


Is the stuff quiet in the brush?  I'd like fleece or wool quiet if possible

I just ordered another set of sika 90% pants.   It is some of the best camo I have ever owned.  My original set is 5 years old and It still looks new.  It is the open country pattern (more sage/brown) and my new set is the optifade (more forest).  If  you watch for the sales you can get great deals on this stuff too.  The pair I just bought cost 147.50 to the door.  That is a great price.

First lite merino wool. Feels like cotton and doesn't smell like synthetics. They have a few different patterns to choose from. There 2013 line will be available in June.

I have all Sitka Gear.  Great gear and I am rough on my gear.

Do you really think the pattern has to match perfectly?

I don't  think one would want to wear desert camo in the woods or vice versa.

But I wear all different types of forest types in the woods ie missed matched shirts pants, and have put the sneak on lots of critters.

He'll I even treed a bear once I snuck up on, that was the last time he got blamed for being a  he was yummy! 

I think sent control and movement will give you away long before non-matching camo will!

Try King's Mountain Shadow. Russell makes pretty good stuff they may fit your ned.

   I wear my open contry camo in the forest all the time.  My hunting partner has a hard time finding me when I am still and in the shadows.  I personally could care less if my camo matches the terrain as long as it works.

Not too worried about it matching perfectly.  I realize most camo patterns sell to the hunter not the hunted.


I've treed a few bears too, sent two cubs up in the trees with momma chomping her teeth shaking the bushes.  Almost stepped on a bear too, didn't get a shot because all I could get in the sights was a big black azz 

My buddy ruined that for me, or saved my butt not sure which.  He actually hollard up at me "hey see anything" and this bear exploded out from a wallow less than 10 feet away under my feet - had my buddy not said anything I would have been a lot closer.
