Max 1 or Mountain Mimicry?
« on: January 15, 2012, 08:49:05 AM »
So I have quite the delema, I have used Kings Mountain shadow for the last 4 years and I'm finding it harder and harder to find and the quality has gone down hill. I have the money to buy decent camo and have narrowed the paterns down to max 1 and mountain mimicry but I'm having a hard time picking one. The areas I hunt for elk are at about 5000ft. and composed of heavy alpine timber with some large meddows. I hunt all three types of deer in all kinds of terrain. So which one would be the most versitile? Any help with this would be great. :dunno: :dunno:

I love the look of mountain mimicry! Have you looked  at any of the sitka patterns?

I have looked at sitka and I think that they are to over priced but they do have nice products. I was looking at Core4Element and Cabelas Kryptic gear, if anyone has used these let me know how they are for quality and quietness.

I wear Sitka Optifade but really like the mtn mimicry pattern.  I bought my Dad, step dad, and brother some of the Kryptex stuff in MM for Christmas and it looked/felt like very nice stuff.

I would give it a try!

I hunt elk up on the pacific crest trail, and deer, on the east and west side.

I own both but most of the time I wear Max1 but I hunt mostly the west side but spend some time in the area of the crest.  I mainly wear the MM when I'm hunting more open country. I've tried the Core4 but what I ordered was lighter weight than I like. I will order some of their heavier weight stuff in Max1 this year, keep an eye on Camofire for great deals on Core4 since it's offered in both patterns you like.
Shut up and Hunt!

Camo fire is what got me interested in Core4Element and the problem is that they offer both patterns, I dont know what to do. :dunno:

Looks like the MM crowd is large. I'll put in my two cents for Max-1.  Most of my elk and deer hunting are on the eastside or in other western states. The sage-mix pattern works really well.   It also works very well in the snow.   Take a piture of your camo in whatever terrain you hunt and then turn it into a black and white photo.  Max-1 in a snowing sage/pine mix is pretty impressive.   

We all know that in reality,  movement is way more important and will give you away, long before what you are wearing.    :twocents:

The best I have found for the west side is predators Green Deception.
