    Is this the route i should go if i need some good camo tape?

    I have 3 game cameras and a video camera/tripod that need done this spring for turkey season, and i want the best i can get. I know there are some UC guys here, i need opinions.

    I've been on Predator Camo's pro staff, and am still affiliated with Gray Wolf... but I'll tell you hands down when it comes to wanting your equipment to look like and blend in to the tree you've got it attached to, there's NO other option that even comes CLOSE...

    I change nothing I've ever said about being a HUGE proponent of open-concept patterns to obliterate the HUMAN background up in a tree from the deer's perspective... but when it comes to hiding your equipment at ground level from human passersby and even from animals at that level? UC all the way... simply no other choice and nothing can touch it.

    I've got some pics saved on my home desktop PC that Andy sent me of his initial run he did before it went public of some Lone Wolf steps and game cams dipped in UC... Disappear somehow doesn't do the feat justice.

    Siman.....

    I thought it looked so dang good.....I ordered 4 rolls, last year. I'm gonna wrap my camera arm with it.....and I'm sure I'll find other uses. Just haven't done it, yet.

    I'll say this......the photos I've seen are great.

    Nice pics and the equipment looks great! I mean no offense by this, but one piece of your gear would look even cooler if the bark on the tree ran vertically. The arm looks lie a limb though. Good job!

    Thanks Greg, non taken. I have though about this in hindsight and I think they have actually made improvements to the tape in quality this past year so I may just order some more and do it that way. I just haven't gotten around to it. :)

    I have a moultrie game cam done up, I can post pics tomorrow if you wish.

    I also have a Remington 1100 that I use crow hunting, fully decked out.

    The stuff is great just remember what tree you put the camera on! :D

    I would have the camera arm and game cams dipped if you can. I have two camera arms that have the U.C. Tape and they look awesome, but the dipping would cover some of the areas the tape won't. The tape worked well on my video camera, but got taken off recently because my wife didn't want a U.C. covered camera at a baby shower:(

    I did it up in Predator camo before and my wife kinda dug it. The UC hasn't been as well recieved as the Fall Grey was.

    I'm liking the Idea of this. Never really thought about camoing my trail cams and video equipment. Thanks for the great Idea!!

    Cool pics too Ben!!

    Yeah, that UC tape is the best for trail cams and tree steps. My tree arm is already camoed so I haven't used it for that, but Ben's looks great. I also used a different camo tape for my camera because I was worried about it leaving a sticky residue, but for looks it can't be beat.

    I'd post pics of my trail cam, but I don't have any. Just imagine a red oak with an IR sensor and a lens and you get the idea.;)
