Pert near everything, IMO. I've spent too many evening cursing my cotton for leaving cold and stinking in my stand. Several years ago I vowed that cotton would I never take to the woods. There are so many fabrics out there that are equally as comfortable, if not more so. Two that come to mind are my polartec heavy weight thermals and my scentlok base layers. I've also found that while you can certainly wear a moisture wicking base layer, they simply transfer that moisture to the next layer and if that layer happens to be cotton.......it's gonna be wet.
Just out of curiosity, what pattern camouflage do deer wear? How is it that something that big, and mainly brown w/a little white/black can "disappear" right in front of your eyes. Now if we could get camo to work like that, there'd be a lot mor deer down.
Put him up in a tree though with us on the ground looking up at him with that solid blob of brown and I bet we'd be able to pick him out a lot easier! :d I know what ya mean though... they're pretty amazing aren't they?
Think about this, too: How do you usually spot a deer the quickest in the woods? Besides movement, for me it's usually identifying the solid horizontal line of their back... Break up that part by putting him in a high-contrast open-concept pattern that minimized that one contiguous line and the darn things would REALLY be invisible. :d
I could right a book. I own ASAT older than some on this forum. :d It's quite the read, it has it all, incredible encounters, opportunity, backstabbing, funny stories. I tell ya, a best seller. Fantastic pattern until you wear it for a season, you'll never "get it" why it is what it is. The Barnharts, (Jim and Gary) knew what they were doing then the invented ASAT. And I concur with the post above that mentioned getting it from Grey Wolf Wollens, Day One Camo etc..
