Try to keep your money and business in Alabama.


It's a mississippi company but close enough thumbup

I myself am partial to mossy oak. Used to go to the store in columbus on the way to visit family in mississippi when growing up. I like the tree bark type patterns they are making again.


Oops, my bad; lol Still made in Dixie though!

Personally - I like lightweight mesh 3D camo (something similar to THIS ).

For bow season - I think the biggest thing is wear something that is cool and comfortable so you aren't sweating. I would highly recommend a Thermacell to keep the mosquitoes away. Do not wear a hat or sunglasses (I am convinced that deer can see dark and shadows very well), instead get a good mesh mask that matches your camo pattern.

Unless you can shoot from a sitting position, get a good climbing stand and set the seat a little higher so instead of sitting, you are more leaning against the seat. PLEASE WEAR a quality safety harness

Scentlok ok if you want to go that $$$ route. Find what will go best in area you are hunting. Better yet just get cheap stuff now and wait to buy more as you learn more about it. Rocky has some nice stuff for price if you can catch it on sale.

There was a Mossey store in Foley outlet center, I dont know if its still there.
This website has great prices on camo, check out closeout area.

My cousin in TN would hunt in flannel and jeans. He would put on Carhart coveralls if it was cold.

That should read, "always stay DOWNWIND of the deer." &#128513;

I just watch the cigarette smoke and if the wind changes, turn to face it.

I usually wear a pair of green wool pants if it's early in the season and switch to tan or brown as the season goes on. If I do wear camo, it's woodland pattern military surplus for about 10 clams per piece.

Realtree is made in Georgia. Truth is, if you're not sitting still the deer will spot you no matter if you're wearing camo or an orange jumpsuit. Set up downwind and be still. The posts about breaking up your human outline are spot on.
