[QUOTE="Bcwn, post: 1692277, member: 84382"] Just curious if anyone else uses a ghille suit to hunt. I've really only got 2 productive spots on my property that a ghillie suit has any real practical application. I will say I got spoiled 5 years ago when one of the guys down stairs from the sniper committee suggested trying a ghillie suit with a rifle to kill a 4 year old doe who completely had my number in one of my bow stands, this was only the 3rd time in my life I had ever hunted with a rifle considering it was a bow or nothing, well needless to say that was an awesome experience. I went full blown using an ozonics, brushing in my spot, and my ghillie as well. I've got to say I was a bit skeptical until I watched a male red fox walk only 10-15 from me headed out to the field, at that time I knew I was doing the right things. All brushed in with my ghillie tied in with all the local vegetation I waited, she came out at the same time looking at the climber and trying to wind me, I'm sure in her mind she was like I'm gonna stomp and screech at you again ensuring this spot sucks to hunt. Well a 165 grain .300 WM put a stop to that. That was it from this point on I spend this time to brush in prefabed spots for ground hunting. This year Im not too concerned with scent considering all my shots will the 485, 355, and 515. For the record I will still be using an ozone elimination system. So thats my story, and thats how I got hooked on ground hunting with a ghillie suit. Just my 2 cents if any of you guys decide to try it make sure you get a suit almost too big so you can put some cold weather gear under it. Brad [/QUOTE]
