Do you think leafy camo is better? I know the north mountain gear pullover gets alot of praise I have one myself but it got me thinking if leafy camo really makes any difference. I seem to get same results with or without it. What is your thoughts ?

Never leave home without it.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself. It just needs someone to carry it around the woods.

It's another trick in the closet.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons. However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Just bought a North Mountain green leafy jacket. Looks like great stuff and heads above the Bass Pro stuff I had before.....

Unlike most, I run leafy bottoms and just a Trebark top. I think the leafy bottoms definitely helps break up the outline, particularly if you get caught in a place where tree choice is limited.

I think there's a advantage to it. I feel that it gives some added depth and a little movement in the breeze makes it a little more realistic. I have used a Mossy Oak Diffusion pullover for 4 or 5 years last year I picked up a North Mountain gear medium weight Greenleaf pullover for early season.

It seems to help break up the human outline a little better. I've had good results with the Firstlite top and facemask

I wear a leafy jacket, leafy vest, leafy face cover and leafy ball hat. Works really well. I do not wear leafy gloves or pants.

Started wearing a First Lite leafy jacket and head cover this year mainly because my grandkids gave it to me for Christmas. After wearing it this season I can't imagine being without it. It blends with almost anything and softens your outline like regular camo can't.

I only wear leafy because it's convenient to put on over my work clothes. I get the cheap, almost disposable, ones I see on eBay.

I use a leafy top which also has a leafy hood. I don't know as I've ever been picked up wearing it whereas I have been picked up, sans leafy, by those pesky hens that come looking for you.

Definitely love it, they walk 5 feet away. It breaks up human outline.....
