Specialty camo effective during late-season hunt

According to that gun-totin,' guitar-playin' Texan Billy Gibbons, "the whole world's crazy about a sharp-dressed man."

While sharpness can be a matter of debate and taste, it's a fact that being well dressed for hunters who participate in Pennsylvania's late deer seasons means wearing apparel that makes them difficult to be seen. That means, for those who enjoy the challenge of spot-and-stalk hunting, having some type of snow camouflage in their wardrobe.

With Pennsylvania Game Commission regulations making the wearing of fluorescent orange optional for flintlock muzzleloader and late-season archery hunters, wearing snow camo - when combined with scent control and wind-direction awareness - can be especially effective for spot-and-stalk hunting. Unfortunately, when it comes to snow patterns, good camouflage is hard to find (pun intended).

As effective as snow camo is in winter conditions for both late-season deer hunting and snow goose hunting in the open, rather than a blind, the demand is limited. As a result, there are few choices available from major manufacturers.

Ever since bowhunters began wearing World War II surplus camo, rather than the traditional tweeds and wools, the manufacturing of camouflage clothing designed for hunting has become an industry onto itself. Like so many products whose development - from aircraft to those "tasty" freeze-dried meals - have grown by leaps and bounds because of military use, the design of camo clothing has resulted in products being produced in a seemingly endless variety for specific hunting situations.

There are camo patterns for hunting from a treestand in hardwoods (with or without leaf cover); there are camo patterns for hunting in a swamp or marsh; there are camo patterns for hunting in pines; and there are camo patterns for hunting in open terrain, from the waving seas of grain to sand-covered deserts.Great Promotions on Greatest Purchase San Francisco Giants Franchise Fitted chloehandbags Shops.audemarspiguetdiverreplica produced during the 1970s and early 1980s did feature quartz movements, As if these choices are not enough, there are even patterns designed to resemble the skin of various animals and reptiles.

While there is no debating the effectiveness of camouflage when used properly, minimizing movement and masking human scent is just as - or even more - important than blending into the landscape.Buy wholesale new swissetareplicawatches-blog products on TradeTang. If there is one exception to this, it is when the landscape is covered in snow.

Here again, one needs only to watch one of those WW II documentaries on the History Channel or the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers" showing troop engagements during the Battle of the Bulge to see the effectiveness of snow camouflage.

As most snow camouflage clothing is usually cut larger than other types of hunting apparel, military surplus and off-brand camo on the Internet is risky. Trying before buying is the better choice,The great selection of wholesale breitlingstore at TradeTang. and the two major brands offering snow patterns are Realtree APS and Cabela's.

Realtree offers a reversible Sherpa hooded jacket and coverall bib set, with one side its standard AP pattern and the other its AP snow pattern. Both pieces each retail in the $150 range, which makes a set a bit pricey for those needing only snow camo.

Cabela's offers a range of snow camo hunting apparel from cover-up jackets and pants that can be worn over all types of cold-weather clothing - from ski and snowmobile suits to wool and camouflage hunting clothing - to outer wear that stands on its own. In addition, the line has accessory items, such as facemasks for protection from wind and rain.

For those looking for cover-up clothing, they have the choice of Cabela's Lightweight Coverup Parka and Pants or Cabela's Waterfowler Outfitter Waterproof Coverup Parka and Pants.Best ralphlaurenhoody Have you spent a lot of time looking for the best replica watch for you? Depending on the size and style, the sets retail for less than $100, and the waterproof line is a better choice than homemade cover-ups out of fabric that freezes when it gets wet in cold weather.

Both the Cabela's Waterfowl and Waterproof Canadian Coverup lines feature a variety of outer-wear choices. Its Waterfowl line has a Cover Jacket, Cover Pants and Cover Bibs, with a jacket and pants/bib set retailing for approximately $120; and the Canadian Coverup line featuring the same choices with a set retailing for approximately $200.

For late-season bowhunters and flintlock hunters, nothing compares to the challenges of their special time of the year. And, there's "snow" better way to meet those challenges than wearing camo that's hard to find.
