I hunt in mostly quakies and sage. I believe the best are the lighter patterns. Faded sage, open terrain, etc. There are a lot more good patterns available than there used to be.

Polaris ATV Camo... blend right in around here.
Depends on the time of year, wear everything from advantage timber to aspen xd and aspen fall xd from Western Camo. Really... anything will work. Camo's goal is to break your pattern up. Worry about the wind 10x more than your camo pattern.

Gator you are sorely mistaken and not funny. DeadI, you really should consider predator camo. They have the best colors to blend into any situation in Utah, and any season. Gator, before you poke fun at us again, why don't you look into it first. You would be surprised at how wrong you actually are.

I use the following:
Faded Sage, open country, predator (brown and grey), and natural gear. I've had good luck with all. If I know I'm going to be in the open, the Faded Sage or open country gets the nod. If I'm going to be in and out of the trees, the predator and natural gear are what I choose. If I had to be pinned down to a singe patter, it would probably be the predator brown.

So I am thinking of purchasing the ASAT 3d silly suite next week. One question:
How is this suite on noise? I am thinking it looks slightly noisy due to synthetic fabric?

LAST EDITED ON Aug-01-06 AT 11:44AM (MST)[p]Mr Jordan is making a killin' of most hunters. If people only knew the real truth about camo, they would realize that kings world and Bill jordans camo is just pleasing to the eye and doesnt do justice in breaking your outline! I agree with adamsoa for the meanwhile that predator and ASAT will work. Not blue jeans because deer can see that color real easily. If you stick to brown wool pants and a red/black plaid top you will go unseen. Why you ask? well thats a whole other subject.

1elk;;;;;;I do know a ton of people in UT, So lighten up and quit being so butt hurt, guess what most are Mormon. If you ever hunted down around Parowan their was a couple of OLD gentlemen, we called the Smith Brothers(looked alike and last name was smith) that did wear just would I said, "SO" now your going to tell me that they can't. All they did was drive a old jeep in a mile loop from the old dump to the end of the road and back again and every year they got a buck sometimes a nice one but most of the time they got forkies, Helped load a few for them. But that is just what they wore with a Orange band on their hats and a orange vests hanging on their mirror's. We use to call all those that drove that road the Dump classic hunters, Last time I hunt over that way only one of those old guys was still at some-one said the other brother died.
So now 1-ELK you have a nice day, I think I'm going to start growing my Beard.

Thanks for all the info. I was up at the sportsmans expo, in salt lake yesterday and was looking at all the camo companys that were there, I (and my dad) ended up purchasing a set of ASATs 3D camo (jacket, pants, and hood). The photos that they had there were amazing, hope it works as good as every one says that it does. We'll see hunt starts in two weeks.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-06-06 AT 05:16PM (MST)[p] Funny, but I recall a time when my Dad glued his broadheads on the arrow with a flaming yellow glue stick lit by the gas stove. Holding the green fixed 3 blade razor very precisely in a pair of pliers, he would get the glue flaming, then smash it onto the shaft, working it into just the right postition. Smoke from the union circled his head in the kitchen light. I believe they were called MA-3's?
He bowhunted and wore a flannel shirt with jeans. Hmmm...seems like he and many other recurve weilding hunters did it that way, and were successful without shooting 280 fps, wearing 250 dollars worth of clothing.
A previous post stated it well, keeping the wind in your face and a slow steady step will do wonders for your stealth. Camo is a fantasic fashion invention, I own a couple different varieties myself, but there is something to be said for good old fashioned sneakiness and patience. Don't lose sight of this.
I really don't know why this post struck me so, but I had to throw a couple of pennies in.

Reminds me of being about 5 years old, sitting with my dad on the porch while he put together cedar arrows from blanks. I can especially recall the smell of burning feathers as he trimmed the fletchings up and the smell of the burning resin for the points -- the old green Bear Razorheads. The arrows were really a work of art when they were done. Also reminds me of the old recurves my dad and his buddies all shot, complete with limb socks and the old open ended bow quivers -- so that the broadheads were all exposed. Those guys all wore military surplus jackets, plain green -- I still have one -- or military surplus camo. There was no scent control camo, cover scents, sights, rangefinders, compounds, etc. Yet I remember a lot of deer hanging in camp, mostly small bucks, but the occasional bruiser, too.
Now I have a bow that shoots over 300 fps with all the bells and whistles, practically every version of camo made for western terrain, a laser rangefinder, etc. ,etc. I still don't do as well as those guys seemed to do back in the day.
