I thought this stuff was for the elk hunters, but I'm seeing it in all of the turkey hunting catalogs. Is anybody planning on trying it out?

I got the Ascent pants and shirt late last season. Very impressed with the design of the gear. Blended in perfectly especially after green up. The stuff is expensive, but it impressed me enough to buy more. Got one of the lightweight hoodys for this year. Has a built in face mask. Nice idea.

I got some last year for elk hunting. I'll be wearing it some this spring for turkey, here in the midwest. From my experience, the pattern of camo isn't so important with turkeys, its the movement. Definitely some nice stuff but $$$.

No, turkeys don't care what you're label says. If you got some and wanna use it great but I just use whatever I grab often old army fatigues

Out west it seems that macro-camo(as opposed to micro) patterns like the sub-alpine do a pretty good
job. Remember, no matter the camo you still have to be quiet and be as still as you possibly can as camo is really more about breaking up your silhouette than "blending in". I wouldn't hesitate to use it for either spring turkey or September archery elk.

I recently bought a pair of the Mountain pants. I justified the cost as a way to break my call buying habit.
