I'm thinking about dipping my shotgun and I can't decide between these two patterns. Uses will be spring turkey, fall turkey, coyote, waterfowl, and maybe deer. Right now I'm thinking bottomland would be more versatile, but I'm not sure.
:thanks:
I would do Bottomland.
Bottomland will be more versatile.
That is a tuff choice, I like both and have bottom land bibs/jacket and after seeing some pics of myself when taking down trail cams I am not sure about the bottom land. I was taking a cam down one day when I had my MO tree stand pants on with bottom land jacket, it took my picture in black/white and with the bottom land jacket on I looked like a giant blob with no legs walking toward it !! The bottom land's pattern is so dense it didn't break up my outline like the tree stand did.
I'd go with Bottomland, I personally wish i could find a place that could do a gun for me in the old school Green Leaf or Full Foliage.
I like bottomland and natural gear for versatility year round and for just about any terrain.
My deal about camo is that trees and shrubs/brush (anything wood basically) are always going to be gray/brown year around, even though the leaves will change seasonally and regionally.
In other words, grays/ browns dont go out of season or change while light green is only around for a month or two in the spring before turning dark green or going dormant in the fall or winter.
Bottomland. The green in Obsession would stand out in the winter and fall. Bottomland blends well with the colors at ground level all the time.
Bottomland for sure
I havent had an issues with Obesession in early season. im in the south though.
How is one more versatile than the other.

It is a slight margin, because we are talking about a relatively small surface to cover in a camo. Obsession is a combination of bark and limbs and a high percentage of light green spring foliage. Bottomland is a depiction of tree bark. There is bark on trees year round. There are no leaves at ground level for half of the year. A camo with light green will look out of place for the fall and winter hunting seasons.
I think bottomland is more versatile. I would go with bottomland.
Definately bottomland
bottomland
Flip a coin.

camo is camo. as long as its not hunter orange then turkeys arnt going to see it. camo is getting to be to hyped up on tv. its not a fashion statement. saying all that...... those are my two favorite camo patterns! lol ! either one will work!
BOTTOMLAND!!!
Bottomland would be my pick
I like Obsession. There's a good mix of green in the areas I hunt.
+1 but my turkey gun is in obsession....Fox Haas once said that if a turkey got close enough to see what camo pattern his gun was that turkey better be flopping....

I have and use both camo patterns. I think they both have there advantages and disadvantages, but I am sending my gun off to be done in Bottomland. I think it's a little more versatile.....
good choice
I like obsession. Then again, I hunt in Florida 90% of the time so it's green year round here. For fall when I'm in a stand I use Realtree APG and use obsession during spring turkey
i don`t think you could go wrong with either choice.i had my gun done in bottomland two years ago,here are afew pictures.

That's a fine looking gun clarksvalley! Who did your camo job?.. I vote for bottomland but you could flip a coin really. Both are good
don from camo solutions.
bottomland
bottomland
I have a question. Does anyone dip Bottomland so that the pattern runs the length of the gun, and not perpendicular?

I have bottomland on my duck gun and it looks awesome!
obsession is my turkey hunting pattern
