New Sitka drop

[Warren]

Looks like SITKAS version of KUIU VERDE

Where I hunt in SE Kansas, the best color match we've ever had for bow season is Realtree AP. Then Mossy Oak Treestand for after Thanksgiving.

None of this really matters for hunting deer. I'll buy a new fanatic vest eventually. This color will look better that EVII for daylight grip n grins. That's about it.

My buddies tell me I look like an ice cream cone in the tree with the EVII on here in the south I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb but I’ve had deer looking dead at me and then turn away like nothing. Probably more to do with the wind in my favor and not moving but I will take it. In Illinois when all the leaves were gone I felt like it blended in better. I mostly hunt in solids now so my clothes can pull double duty. Had a job interview and wore kuiu attack pants with there polo. I got the job and the guy doing the interview was a bow hunter and that’s about all we talked about lol

I just hope they add hip vents to the timberlines

The fact that they’ve haven’t added venting to their pants is kinda crazy to me. Literally one of the biggest hunting brands and last to incorporate a HUGE feature. The RD over there and design as been slow (IMO).

Intercept pants have side zips

Intercept pants have side zips

The new equinox gaurd pants have them. I have a pair In coyote color and they are nice

Been looking at the new Optifade Cover. Think I prefer Subalpine in comparison. The new patten is too dark for general use. Probably great for blending in under a heavy canopy or in evergreens, mostly specialty applications. Subalpine blends in well from early Fall through the end of hunting season in January.

I live and hunt in North Georgia and typically hunt in a mixture of pines and hardwoods.

Sitka Timber for hunting ducks, turkey, deer in AL, sub alpine when things 'green up' in the spring and for out west. Covers all I need.

I love me some Sitka but have been rolling a leafy suit for whitetail the last two seasons. Deer look right at you and nothing.

I don’t love it for late season layers but early to mid season in the north east it lets me hunt in everything from solids colors to street clothes now and then. At $85 for something that will last 3-5 seasons, it is hard for me to give it up.

It has to be a great pattern, I just saw a guy on instagram that either gets it for free or gets paid to use it say how well it’s hiding him from elk, maybe even better than subalpine was.

Judging by the footage he had of some super dumb private land bulls I’m guessing you could kill elk where he was wearing a neon clown suit

Looks pretty similar to the old Optifade Ground Forest they discontinued years ago.

Curious to aee the footage

Hold on to anything long enough, and it becomes cool again. I’ve had this vest for something like 10 years and it was “old” when I bought it.

A couple years ago I had three mature doe within 10 yards of me at EYE LEVEL... wind was in my favor, yes. I had a double seat tree stand mounted to a huge Ash tree at ground level because it overlooked a large lowland area and put me 20 feet above that area. The doe came up feeding in my food plot to my right, same general elevation. They stared at me for several minutes and eventually went back to feeding. I had to text my wife to come 'spook' them so I could go back to the house. I had to hold a very uncomfortable position for nearly 40 minutes so that I didn't give myself away. It was pretty cool. Several other first hand experiences as well. They just do not see that pattern. My dog, goats, chickens, all struggle with it at distance.

A couple photos of my typical hunting area... south central PA, lots of honeysuckle and Russian olives, still very green and will be all winter. The new/old pattern would blend in fine if you were in a position to sit in/around the green stuff. I have no interest in it, too dark for my taste and use since I'm either in that box or a tree stand all the time.
