Kevin, Thanks for your post. I didn't mention that I am seasoned cape buffalo hunter and I experiment with camo every time I go to Africa, including EVA foam silhouettes of cape buffalo horns. It's just part of the fun for me.

I am a fan of ASAT too, it's my camo for tree stand bow hunting (if I ever get back to it). It would seem to be ideal for the bush, but I think I would use the usual pattern and not introduce the motion of a leafy suit.

I used to bow hunt from trees with a friend many years ago. He used to like wearing these Ghillie suit type camo outfits. Occasionally when he was set up within sight of me, I would notice any of his movements were far more easily noticed. It's like seeing a leafy branch moving rather than just a stick, if that makes sense. I imagine the same would apply on the ground. Now if you are stationary without moving a muscle like a sniper that's a different story.
I am inquiring about ASAT Camo clothing because it is designed on a different premise than most other camo patterns. I realize that opinions vary on the effectiveness of camo for rifle hunting, although the bow hunter generally wear some form of camo.
