I love the stuff, I know that movement, noise and wind direction are the key factors in our quarry putting the make on us, but I love good camo.
I like to wear a ASAT 3-D top over real tree or advantage pants, a face mask , gloves and a Ghillie cover sewn to a camo cap that breaks up my head outline.
The one area that I have heard mention of quite a few times is about the wearing of glasses on a call. I have heard some say that the glare will be noticed very easily. I wear sunglasses here in AZ almost constanly, yet I can honestly say that I have yet to have noticed a difference in detection whether I have them on or not.

Any one have any ideas on this? I thought of spraying them with camo paint , but that would be a little extreme would it not..

I'm a big fan of full camo too.

Unfortuately, like many 50 year olds, I'm forced to wear glasses if I want to see past 100 yards. If the glasses do create some glare my full face mask must be eating it up cause I've never witnessed any indication that predators pick up on the glasses.

My biggest problem with wearing glasses is when it is raining or they fog up on me.

That is a bummer...

You know Will I have the same problem with my sunglasses quite often.
It is funny that you mentioned this because I was going pick up some stuff tomorrow that I was wondering might help.
It's called rain-x, it's made for windshields . They also make a product to prevent glass from fogging.
I did try this on a mirror in my shower once and it worked very well.

Could be,, I will let you know how it works since I am going on the Antelope eaters hunt this weekend and with all of the rain if it gets sunny I am sure my glasses will be a good test.
Take care, Craig.

I was planning on heading up that way myself but I've got to travel on business instead.

While you're up there spread the word about Predator Masters and maybe you could fill us in on how things went when you get back.

I think lots of folks would like to hear about it...

Craig and Will,

RainX and AntiFog both work wonderful on sunglasses, you will be pleased with your results.

As for camo....... here's mine.....

Dang , that is HOT!
Is that the style that they sell in Cabela's?

Do you have a face mask on under there? or do you even need it?
I wear a homemade Ghillie hood but it isn't as full as yours. Does that one restrict your vision very badly?

No Craig, I made it myself out of camoflage cloth and a couple duck decoy bags and a booney hat.

As far as restricting my vision... no, the booney hat also keeps it from touching your face.

I have a face mask that I sewed some cloth strips to, just to help hide my face.

Only problem with it is that its quite warm in the summer months.

So NOW we know where the rumors of Bigfoot come from. Cool suit.

I was out with a guy a couple of weeks ago that wore glasses. One time he didn't get in the shade and his glasses really reflected the late afternoon sun. I was about 40 yards away an it hit me like a spotlight, so I know that predators could see them for miles. On other stands, as long as he was in the shade there was no problem. Also, earlier in the day when the sun was higher the bill of his cap would shade them. One thing that would maybe help is a camo mesquito net/mask that you would wear over the glasses. I have one but didn't have it that day.

Tcoop, thanks for the real deal from the field. That is the kind of info that we all can use . I know I will jot it down in my limited memory bank. Its full now though so I guess that means something else will get booted.
I will dang sure pay more attention when the sun gets towards that angle.
Craig.

Nice looking camo!

OK Guys,

I am starting to get a little self concious about my feet now.

Size 12 isn't really that big is it? LOL

Size 12 would definitely qualify when you're dressed like that. Don't forget the print would look like at 14-15.

Here are the two different types of Shaggie Camo that I use in addition to regular old Advantage Camo. The Shaggie System is made by Rancho Safari.


This camo is great when plants are growing during warm weather and there is more green outside.
This is the carry roll.

This is my 4 Season Camo. It is great just about anywhere. I am in the process of shredding the burlap as I type this.

My personal feelings on camo is that it is overrated. If you are in heavy cover with close contact, then camo becomes more important. Where I am at in open country camo's value is pretty insignificant for the way I call. I believe it's important to try to keep the sun at your back and in the coyotes eyes and you won't have as many glare problems. If you do this you will spot the coyotes more readily and the coyotes wont see you as easily.

I really like snow camo for snow conditions. In the fall I like a Predator camo top and a camo cap. I like Predator camo because it has the black bars that break outlines. Most camo patterns are dark blobs if they are not on the appropriate back ground. If I were in heavy cover, I might paint my face or wear a face mask. In the open country that I call, I want them to see my face when I bark so they will stop and look at me. Then I can shoot them. If they don't see anything they can be hard to stop. Many callers camo up too well and wonder why they can't get the coyotes to stop when you bark at them. They need to see something. That's my 2 cents on camo. If I could pick one camo pattern for year round use it would be Predator's snow camo. That white with black bars would work anytime of year on about any back ground. Light colored is the key here.
