    Anyone here use any Sitka EVII for ground hunting. I know that it is not what it is designed for, my entire lineup is EVII and I had great success this past year treestand hunting, however next season may feature some mountain ground hunts. Any input would be appreciated.

    I don't own Sitka but I have seen hunters wear Sitka while hunting in the mountains, and with different patterns, too. I wouldn't buy brand new camo just to hunt the mountains. But then again I have a mortgage to pay, otherwise id think about it.

    Depending on what you have for tree stand hunting, it might be too warm for mountain hunting. Sitka Mountain pants and a base layer was all I needed in Wyoming this fall when it was 9 with 18” of snow on the ground. Put it on and walk 5 miles and see if you break a sweat.

    Majority of my hunting is in the mountains. Most bow hunting out west here is in August and September. Sitka makes some very nice gear. I own a couple shirts and a pair of there pants. I have a good hunting buddy and a son that is all they own in hunting clothes is Sitka. The Sitka I own I have always bought on sale. I own some King Camo That I really like also. I also own some inexpensive camo that works great to. The thing I like the most about Sitka and the better king Camo products is that it drys out fast when you get wet.

    I have hunted on the ground with EVII and it works fine... the best camo is sitting still.
