Title: Treestand camo
Post by: threedwizard on December 09, 2013, 08:19:26 AM: I'm looking for some opinions on treestand camo in late archery. I use King's mountain shadow in the hunts when there's green, but most of the trees I'm in are mostly bare come Nov/Dec. I managed my 1st Washington archery buck this year, but made many mistakes. Looking to get a heater body suit to stay warm, as I froze my butt off! Will be moving my stands around too, as I did a poor job with the wind. These mountain whitetails are a bunch smarter than those farm bucks!

It's called New Xtra Camo, maybe without new by now.

If you look up into the trees from down low late season when the leaves are off you see a lot of light or white from the sky and clouds. Predator grey has a lot of white in it and hands down is the best tree stand camo I've found. They make some late season stuff in fleece now as well.

Good Luck,

That's why I was looking at those body heat suits, the problem is the camo patterns suck for late season. I'm liking the input, thanks! Need to try to stay in the stand all day to kill an old buck! I'll look into Natural Gear too.
