Re: Where to buy camo for hunting in snow?

best over-whites are TROJAN OVER WHITES by DHK International but they are EXPENSIVE. they are made of waterproof mil-spec ripstop nylon. My cousin got a steal on a pair on ebay about 2 years ago but they are impossible to find cheap. what i did, was take a pair of my regular old $30 polyester cabelas overwhites, bought 5yds of mil-spec ripstop nylon on ebay for like $3/yard and basicly made a guillie suit out of it all with the ripstop nylon all the way around the legs below the knee, over the thighs and crotch, 2 thick on the butt, and over the chest and elbows. I took an old white net that was used to stop golf balls and put that over the head and down to the bottom of the jacket on the back and have a small amount of white material on it as well as some white cotton yarn. the yarn sticks well to grass and weeds so that when it is not completely white out, you can snag a bunch of grass in it so your not TOO white.
I will get some pics up soon, I think ya'll will like.
as for somewhere to buy waterproof white camo, i dont know why more places havent figured it out yet...but they are few and far between if you dont want to make your own.

Cool Re: Where to buy camo for hunting in snow?

I don't understand either why the camo manufacturers feel that we don't hunt in the snow. I also notice that it is difficult to find any camo that features sage or grass. I guess they all think we always hunt in areas with lots of trees. High desert is my favorite territory, yet try to find anything that equates to high desert. Also, they still put out plenty of Woodland Camo....which is useless IMO when compared to just about any of the other camo patterns. And...COTTON for use in the snow? I suppose they think cotton doesn't get soggy when it gets wet. I like your suggestions....thanks.

EXACTLY! Cotton? Polyester? Really? both snag grass and weeds and get torn up and soggy, sure they aren't as loud as nylon or other materials but there are plenty of hybrid fabrics that are waterproof and wont get torn up when walking through the desert/prairie. I also do most of my hunting in areas that have no viable camo patters available to speak of. Prairie Ghost and Open Country are close but IMO nothing beats a good guillie.
I will make a quote from the ASAT Camo website. "Most camo today is designed to catch the hunter rather than to help catch the quarry"
Woodland Camo? Real Tree? Advantage? Yeah they work great if you want to go out and scout for a place that they will match. Otherwise you just look like a big black blob.

Re: Where to buy camo for hunting in snow?

I agree. It appears to be a giant marketing scheme. Lessee.....camo for sagebrush, a different camo pattern for forest use....a different one for the snow.....a different one for hunting ducks in reeds.....another pattern for grassland areas.....another one for high desert use. And God help you if you fail to buy the Scent-lock material. It never stops. A Ghillie suit serves most purposes without having to be concerned about which type of terrain should be expected to match up with which suit of camo clothing. Ground squirrels could not care less if you shot them in your birthday suit. Same for pigs. Coyotes.....a toss-up. I have shot 'em with and without camo. I just make sure my hands and face are covered with cheap gloves and an even cheaper face mask. I use good game calls without overusing them (especially rabbit calls), use an accurate rifle at relatively close distances (up to 300 yards) and don't get "coyote fever" when the animals approach.

Who sells the best Ghillie suit?
