Who knows WV, but you made the top 5, which is nice.   :drool:

Yeah, sounds like Mossy Oak is just being promoted in both articles. Nothing to get up in arms about.

Well I can somewhat agree with the first article posted (didn't bother with the second). Here's a for instance: Friday morning I was working a couple birds on public ground in NY and I was doing pretty good. Had them closing the gap to around 75 yds. Another hunter came around the bend I'm sure he heard the birds and was putting on a sneak. I'm in head to toe......you guessed it Mossy Oak. I stopped calling and waited for him to get about 30-40 yds then pulled down my face mask and scared the crap out of the guy. After the initial startled look he waved and mosied on in another direction. Now I'm sure it wouldn't have mattered much if it was some other brand but my point is you can become practically invisible in camo. It was open woods between me and the other hunter and had I not made him aware he'd have walked right by or set up next to me for sure.

Not necessarily a cool move. I knew a guy years ago that was shot while sitting on a stump along a road in the timber. Saw a fellow approaching, who he happened to know, and raised his hand to wave at him. Next thing he knew, the guy was drawing down on him. The only thing that saved his life was the fact the shooter was new to turkey hunting, and was shooting field load shells.

I started carrying an orange vest in my pants pocket 25 years or more ago. If I see anyone approaching, I immediately deploy it, and watch to make sure they see me before I let my guard down.

First: I know what I'm doing and I always wear orange while moving on public ground.

Second : The dude had his gun slung over his shoulder with a call in his hands.
Third : If he would have drawn on me I had the drop on him.  ;D

i read this article earlier and it has to be the stupidest article ever. especailly the i got mossy oak on so im invisible who does this guy think hes fooling. if mossy oak made you invisible people would be robbing banks all the time. cant believe they would lie like this  http://www.mossyoak.com/our-obsession/blogs/cuzs-corner/2013/02/07/day-4-how-to-successfully-hunt-turkeys-on-public-land-with-mossy-oak-s-tracy-groves..  all my mossy oak clothing is now being used as shop rags

People rob banks everyday in realtree. You never hear about it tho cause they're invisible.
