I like a nice sprig of parsley. Maybe a slice of lemon.
You can hunt white tail at ground level in jeans and a t shirt if you can sit still and the wind is in your face. From my experience all they see is change in silhouette, so as long as you don’t make yourself bigger or smaller while they are looking at you, your good to go.
10-4 it’s the one with the aluminum v-block. Works really well for hunting the way it sticks to your hands
Not for archery. I’m hoping the viper will work, being so minimalist for a ghilliesuit. I’ve been wanting to try something different because when I hunt from the ground I almost always get picked by deer no matter how still I am, brand of Camo I’m using, and with the wind in my favor. I use the same tactics when it comes to camouflage/concealment while turkey hunting, and I have no problems(usually
).Deer supposedly can’t see detail like turkeys, but I’ve been spotted way more by deer. Unless I get busted by movement at the wrong time turkeys have been within 10yards and never knew I was there. I’m hoping maybe the textures of a ghillie will be more convincing to the deer that I’m part of the natural environment and not a strange, new out of place blob, sitting in the middle of their living room that wasn’t there yesterday. I see why they might feel threatened by the scenario, and start their investigation by nose which always ends with white flags waving goodbye
Maybe a hi-vis orange ghillie so elmer fudd doesn’t think he just bagged sasquatch.
Deer will smell you if you are upwind before they see you.

True that. I wonder if that burlap smell of the ghillie will spook deer by itself.? Even after dragging it through the mud it still has that unique smell once dried. On another note, has anybody else ever had issues with accidentally inhaling some of those fine jute fibers while on a stalk? Trying to suppress a cough with a piece of that microscopic jute in your throat is
This is pretty low tech, but what we used to do before a hunt was to build a fire with downed timber from the hunting area, then take our hunting clothes and hold them over the smoke from the fire for awhile. The scent of the smoke from the campfire is a naturally occuring odor and in theory wouldn’t spook game if they got a whiff.
If they smelled cigarettes, BO, or detergents from your washing machine, poof they gone.

Fire ants are going to like you....
in SC I like to be up in the air in a climber. Solves a lot of issues and helps forgive you of bad habits.

Well here’s an update for you. It didn’t work for shit! The first doe that came with in 15 yards busted my ass and let everybody know it. I’m going back to ASAT!
I was looking for a ghillie thread, I have a couple coming together. Took a break to work on rifle and tripod covers, did you make that rifle wrap? it’s pretty nifty looking.
I sewn some netting to small sections of old uniforms to strap on and never thought to add tiedowns like elastic before I started.
