Title: Realtree Timber Vs New MossyOak Bottomland
Post by: gdc23 on April 13, 2020, 04:55:34 PM
What do you guys think looks better, Realtree Timber or New MossyOak Bottomland. Although the birds probably could care less, it seems Timber would break up your outline a little better

I think their both almost as ugly as I am, I do think the Timber would have better use here in the North than the New Bottomland though. I think it would be in reverse in the South.

Are you looking with or without your glasses on?

Since I hunt in the south, I personally prefer bottomland although camo pattern doesn't make any difference aside from our own preference. Just wear a dark drab color or pattern and SIT STILL. With that said, it's soon to be late April and late season in the south. Therefore I'm currently searching for a pair of drawers in bottomland, as that's the only thing I'll be wearing to hunt in by May. Gets hot down here.

Six of one, half dozen of the other. I prefer the mossy oak but mostly because I won't buy much of anything realtree unless it's dirt cheap. And for early deer hunting, I'm thinking that just going with neutral colors I'd more than fine. I know turkeys have walked right to me while gun hunting for deer wearing blaze orange. I bought a set of nomad NWTF stuff last year or the year before. Just pulled it out. It looks nice but in the end, it won't much matter. Sit still and pick your poison.

It's ok. As I tell my kids, if you can't believe in yourself then dont expect anyone else to.

I like the looks of the RT Timber. Not a big fan of the new Bottomland but the old Bottomland is my favorite. Don't really see the purpose of the new bottomland. Just my 2cents.

Just got a set of the Browning Wasatch in RT Timber.  Wore it Saturday here in Maryland with my son on youth day and I really liked the way I thought it looked setting up against a tree.

real tree timber is a sharp pattern. but ive always been loyal to mossy oak as they are a Mississippi company and I happen to reside there. Not to mention the bottomland is not a specific pattern of anything therefore it works with everything , the real tree is legitimately a photo image of bark. looks sweet though.

The RT Timber looks like it could be a great pattern for setting up in some of the freshly burned wide open pine woods I've been hunting a lot lately.

Just dig out your Crumley's Trebark from the late '70s...looks pretty much the same.

I like my mossy oak bottomland but the realtree timber is the best looking pattern that realtree has made to me.

It's all preference... timber looks good but I've never worn it. I've always been a fan of new bottomland.

You used to see the Bill Jordon crew on the hunting shows all the time 10-15 years ago. Have they gotten tired of that part of the game (publicity...marketing?) I'd think Bill would want that business built up as much as possible for his son(s) coming along.

I like and hunt with both. I got some ol tom shirt and pants in RT timber last year and really like it. I think from a distance the timber blends better than bottomland. But I wouldn't hesitate to wear either. That said it's hard to beat a leafy suit in any pattern to really blend in with the woods. I'm looking @ some marathon seat covers for my truck and really liking the looks of them in RT timber.

I've always seen it like this: realtree Juuurdan with his 80yr old fresh brown hair dye and always arrogant 'shirt collar up' vs good ol normal Toxey.... yeah mossy for me. Matter of preference.

I think most would agree with that analysis on personalities. Its just a curious observation that made me wonder why Realtree doesn't seem to be marketing themselves as much anymore. Mossy is the official camo of NWTF and DU as well. I just don't see Realtree camo pushed that often anymore.

I think MO has always been a leader in the market, trying new technologies and developing newer patterns. IMO always seemed RT was reacting to MO instead of leading themselves.

I've been a MO fan for decades, it just appeals to my own eye. But RT did have a killer pattern with the original Advantage - that flat made someone disappear in the fall woods. I watched a guy still hunt a ridge many years ago outfitted in the original Advantage, and each time he stopped I could not pick him out until he moved again even though I had my eyes on him. I think RT's new Edge is pretty close.
