looks good. pity the inside covering around face (black) isn't the same camo colouration though. and zipper line down the middle not broken up a bit more. 1% stuff i know.

hahaha Balty. i forgot the funny little simile to go with it and was expecting a lecture.

asat is the best!! trouble is it's black and white and meant for an animals eyes and doesn't help me for poaching farmer fred's pigs.

i went through this a couple months ago and i'm glad i settled on a Vortex Diamond Back 8 x 42 (FMC) for $300 because they are brilliant.

i love my pig hunting - mainly stalking about with bino's under full moon on stubble (lightforce walkabout kit), or poking around orchards at dawn with my bow. however, pis are no comparison IMHO to the red and fallow deer i've gotten onto in recent years and hunting mates agree. deer are much more switched on. eyesight and hearing they cream pigs! Only reason i wear camo when pig hunting is beacuse i've got the camo gear, so might as well wear it, might help a bit. however, for deer hunting i reckon it's imperitive, when you need every little bit of extra assistance you can get, to stalk in for a close shot.

that's a good point Fangster - that not wearing gloves or face cover, but being clad in camo elsewhere, only makes those white bits stand out even more - silhouettes them. i reckon animals like deer have a sixth sense - i don't even stare at the buggers when watching and waiting. i reckon they get that 'i'm being watched' feeling.

i'm puzzled at some hunters, who go to the effort of wearing camo pants, shirt and hat - but they are all different colour/camo patterns. no bush looks like that - must all be the same. also, wearing camo shirt, pants and hat, but then having a big white face and hands also seems to be defeating the point. use gloves and a mesh mask (i just tie a bit of scrim around neck and cover face like a robber when convenient). doesn't matter whether chasing rabbits or deer - if you want to get close you need to cam up. however, camo doesn't make you invisible. doesn't matter what you're wearing when you're walking for example, movement gives you away regardless of clothing.

thanks hp. a pic would be good hazedog but no doubt suit was/is a pearler. digger pic i pinched randomly from someone's avatar a couple years back - so the 'unknown soldier'. just symbolises the aussie infantryman well that pic and the aussie infantryman is my No1 hero!

for hunting (espcially low light dawn/dusk) as well as for fishing i prefer polaroids with that yellow/amber colour - really lights things up and i reckon i see more trout with that colour. mate swears on it for seeing billfish in the wake as well.

yeah - sowed it robbo. only problem with the hamock thing for me hazedog is that's it's not a sniper suit i need as i use it for bowhunting and wear it on the move through the bush, walking all day and need flexibility when shooting arrows and not too hot etc. i think the hamock idea is really only good if lying prone all day. however, food for thought and thanks for input.

ditto what balty said. unfortunately velcro just wouldn't be up to getting dragged through thick spikey scrub.

what glue did they use Balty - the correct glue would make making yowie suits a quick and easy job? yeah - i'm sold on loops and will put some in - some sorta black elastic i'd gather? just imagine being in Pilbara region of WA and putting spinifex in loops and bobbing down - scrub cattle/camels would walk right over the top of ya i'd imagine.

thanks olga13 - food for thought for sure. often wondered about glue?? what kinda glue w/could possibly replace sewing/loops??? loops could then be used for a bit of specific native shrubbery when hunting maybe? what glue is non-stinky and strong for fabric etc? anything to replace all that stitchwork be great.

i never thought i wore NIKE either Giggitt... got me very curious or else i'm just a bit dozey? where can you see NIKE???
