My DIY ASAT / PREDATOR Camo hybrid...

[Nethawk]

Hey all. Am currently making this suit as I'll be hunting grouse in snow these next few weeks. Couldn't decide between ASAT and Predator...so I decided to make my own and make a ''hybrid'' of the two combing their best attributes. I'll let y'all know how it goes once the hunting starts. BTW...basically just ordinary poly fleece sweatshirt and pants painted with acrylic paint mixed with Hair Conditioner and white school glue. No stencils - all hand painted.

Oh and since I always thought ASAT looked like it had deer antlers scattered throughout the design, figured why not put in actual deer antler shapes yuk yuk! Anf of course, I'll still be wearing the usual blaze orange hunting vest over top, but figure the suit might help in making the birds less nervous.

Definitely wear your orange if your gunna have that many antlers on your clothes!

That looks so cool that you better hope someone doesn’t shoot you and take you to the taxidermist.

Yall got me thinking I might actually modify the antlers somewhat to make them more...''less'' deerlike. I actually thought this while making them, but LOL got carried away.

Better trademark it quick. Someone is liable to steal it and it'll be the latest rage next season.

Got starterted modifying the ''horns'' this AM. Will look more like thorns I reckon than antlers. Anyhow, I won't be trademarking anything as I care little if someone else gets rich off of it. I got my full health and I'm happy = already wealthy.

Well, here's the finished product: Hoodie with front flap (detached), top (antlers mofified to thorny type branches), matching mitten covers, and the pants. Now I just need to decide whether I want to go hunting or to the beach LOL

I have an old predator print shirt and wish I had more of that. It is pretty good camo.

I was always nervous in deer hunting season driving a Swamp Holly orange Semi truck (drove for Yellow Fgt . )

Was there a picture with this?
If I was younger, I'd probably opt to go to the beach and chase the does. Now that I'm older, and tied up, I'm under duress to say I'd go chase squirrels.
