I have mostly waterfowl prints but they seem all fairly similiar. I have heard heard that Max4 is a little dark for field hunting, but to each their own.
My grandfather said he used to hunt geese in the field/bullrushes and deer in jeans or heavy pants and a red and black checkered plaid jacket. He would lie down in a field with old cut up tires and cardboard or plywood cutout to look like dekes. Have been told that animals may be smarter nowadays.......hard to say.
Funny, when I was younger I wore the latest and greatest of camo, covered myself in "Doe in Heat", cotton swabs in my boot laces with doe in heat, 35 mm film canisters' filled with cotton swabs and doe in heat strategically place in a 100 yard circle, would have the wind in my favour, freshly broken tree limb in my back pocket, red fox urine for a cover scent on my hat, everything that Peterson's Hunting could possibly teach a young hunter.........................now true storey! The folks I hunted with in the Interlake were cattle farmers. Two of the guys after chores would walk all of 2 minutes from their trucks, stand concealed right beside a solitary 4" poplar, green Hyrdo parka, blaze as per regs, smoke hanging out of their mouths, coughing from years of dust and smoke! Big buck walks out 100 yard.......plop! Almost same story every single year! I am now fifty, I still where my camo just don't go as far as I used to. For birds particularly ducks.....camo is a must! For deer for me, the jury is still out!
