VTbowman Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Solid White? -OR- White back ground with black branches? Factor to consider: Hunting in northern hardwoods and open fields, edges, and ditch rows. Definately will have snow on the ground.. LOL I have an all white jump suit given to me that will fit over the largest of extreme cold weather coats I can muster. I have a hood with it too. I was thinking of "camo-ing" it up with flat black spray paint to add "branches" and break it up a bit. Would you leave it solid white or add the camo?

tedicast Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? Personally I think it would be more effective if it was broken up. If you have brush or trees as a backdrop. you won't look like a big white blob that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? Do you hunt on the ground or treestand? If from a tree, then yes, add some branches!! Mine came with the pattern on it. I hunt from above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? Well, since this is not an actual poll, Ill vote! I would break up the solid white maybe if I was hunting all hardwoods. But if I was hunting on flat open areas I would keep it solid!

Chrud Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? I don't use snow camo yet. Hardwoods HD works awesome in winter, especially snow. I'm usually never in the wide open, usually always against a tree. So, I haven't found a big use for snow camo yet. But, I would go with Hardwoods Snow if I needed a snow pattern.

billkay Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? Hardwoods Snow is an awesome pattern. Tough to find at times but worth the search. If homemade, I would go and add some blk/brn to it to obscure the outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? I would think the broken up white would be better than a big solid white thing moving through the woods, but I don't think I would use spray paint to add the black break up, I think it would be hard to control and there would be a lot of spreading of the paint as it absorbed into the fabric. Plus when it dries it will be hard and will probably crack when you bend and move. Go to a craft store and get fabric paint, it will work much better and give you better control when applying. I could be wrong, but had a lot of trouble using spray paint on one of my boy's halloween costumes last year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted October 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? The material will not absorb the paint. Its a very thin polyester or simular fabric. Being a clean room suit, I am sure it is not cheapy material either.. I think the flat black paint will be ok and I can control wide spray by using a straw nossle like on a WD40 can... Its how I did camo before on other things and works well for getting thin pattern applications. However I want larger bloches too. Plus it should only take like 5 mintues to hit the suit with it.. LOL Yes I am lazy too... Although I got some time still and a 1/2 dozen sharppie markers could get me some real "sharp" looking patterns if I take my time... But did I mention I am lazy...??? Thanks folks, I decided to go with some sort of black added to the solid white. Just never used snow camo before and was really not sure how well solid white works...

superguide Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? Snow Camo is illegal to use in Saskatchewan during rifle seasons so lots of guys use straight white-If yu can sit still you can wear almost anything they won't see you-I've had bucks 10 feet from me while I was still hunting wearing blaze orange.

NY911Bowhunter Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: POLL on snow camo???? Avoid the black - go with grays. Light and dark - don't worry so much about branches as depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
