Title: So what happened between the NWTF and Realtree ???
Post by: Yoder409 on February 05, 2017, 06:45:34 PM
Just noticed that there is, apparently, no Realtree booth/display at the NWTF Convention this year. Annnnd............ Realtree is not listed on the NWTF website as a partner anymore.

Been a few years since I attended a convention.  But Realtree always had about the biggest display in the place.........

Anyone know whaddup with that ??

It would seem as Mossy Oak has taken over that partnership... Just part of the game.

Apparently the NWTF has finally came to the conclusion that the rest of the hunting community is coming to. Mossy oak is superior to all other camo patterns.  :TooFunny:

I'm sure the partnership went to the highest bidder.

Yes they are superior in making you look like a dark blob. All of the greatest fad camo is at the bottom of the lost when it comes to blending in at a distance. If you want that you need open patterns like predator and asat.

I've never looked at the asat stuff but was thoroughly amazed at how well the predator camo made people disappear.

im fine with looking like a blob from a distance as long as they don't pick me out when they're up close. That's where being still is more important than any camo pattern you can buy

All my camo is mix-matched. I wear like 4 different camo patterns (boots, hat, facemask, coveralls, gloves) when i go hunting. It's all good, but i do favor mossy oak a little more...

I don't turkey hunt at a distance. I turkey hunt from the base of a tree. I want to look like a tree when a gobbler comes into range. That's why I wear bottomland.

Agreed. Most them big partnerships go into a bidding war. Look at all the beer sponsors of the NFL. It was coors and now it's bud light.
