    Can't guarantee I look good. Still rocking a 1980's ScentLok coverall that my wife's uncle gave me... It's just really comfy.

    There is truth to that, but this site doesn't operate for free.

    If I see a hunter wearing this then I know they are legit. I dont care if they are driving a Pinto and hunting with suction cup arrows.

    I still have my set from the early 90's! I should break it out and rock it for old time sake!

    Old camo, crappy gear cuts you out of contention for permission to hunt my properties.

    Optifade, Elevated, Open Country, Subalpine, Waterfowl Marsh, and Waterfowl Timber clothing patterns only, please.

    Those are the only patterns that work. Scientifically proven.

    Go watch some hunts by Dan Infalt. He hunts in every day working mans clothes and kills big bucks every year. "Old Camo" has nothing to do with the ability to kill an animal.

    What do you consider crappy gear if you don't mind me asking? Could I show up with my 2012 Bear bow and be ok to hunt, or would I need the 2018 Triax?

    I guess I'm out with my 1990 PSE Edge? Or do I get bonus points for using an antique?

    You should see how badly the Elevated II camo blends in this time of year. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t the most comfortable, quality and warm stuff I own. Usually they are dead before they see it.

    No body wants to hunt in NY anyway.

    Of the 9 brands on the list only 2 are Sponsors. Although I won't mind some free Costas or a Traeger. I too want to be a cool kid.
