Gille Suit

[NV_ARCH3R]

Anyone use a Gille suit instead of the normal camo's? I always thought it would be a good way to go but didn't want to get caught wearing one. My brother bought me a Gille suit for my birthday, tried it on while on our AZ Javelina hunt (didn't hunt with it) and it really made a guy disappear in the brush. I'll give it a good go next fall predator hunting.

My son and I tried some while archery hunting. We were sitting on opposite sides of a waterhole about waiting for the deer to come in. We had a herd with 2 small bucks come in about 25 yards away from me. When I started my draw the material of the Gille suit made a swishing sound and you would have thought I threw a firecracker into the herd from the way they all jumped back from the water and left in a cloud of dust.

When using a gille suit with a bow, you pretty much want to remove all loose material along the travel of the bow string, both for drawing and the release.

What brand of gillie suits are you using? My son has it on his birthday wish list.

Brand is Auscamotek. I'm sure it's one of the more inexpensive ones out there. Jacket and pants

I have one that I use for bow hunting that is awesome, it's made by Marc Anthony. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore.

I bought one from Gander Outdoors when they had a sale on them.
Don't ask me what brand, i have no clue.

I've found it useful when laying in the gasline hunting coyotes.

Note, they catch on anything & everything when moving.
Tried it for turkey hunting the other year. Sitting against some brush. Dang near couldn't get up to move when i needed to.
