Default Tree stand camo pattern

Wondering what you guys use for a camo pattern for tree stand archery hunting.

Used a lot of asat last year. Not an exaggeration had 50 or so does pass by me in the 42 days I put into the stand.... only one took extra looks, but still walked off in no rush. The rest didn't even blink at me. Wind was huge, but I'd say it was effective.

Skyline, Sitka Elevated II (late season), or the new Sitka Sub Alpine for early season.

I've had really good luck with my predator camo. I use deception for early season and fall grey once the leaves are gone. If I do my part with controlled movement and good wind direction they don't have a clue.

We hunt lots of white poplar, snow camo pretty hard to beat in most places

Sitka forest, which is now elevated 2. Have had deer look right through me, close enough I could have popped them on the nose with my bow, munching on leaves and never knew I was there.

I wore Elevated II when I was elk hunting last year and I crouched down behind some very minimal brush, fooled 6 cow elk and a bull. With the lead cow and bull 15 yards from me at one point....all while on the ground.

bobalong, that is scary right there.
Your bottom half simply dissapeared.
:-)
Like photoshoped away.

Only problem is if I was a deer I could still spot your coon skin hat and
jacket for the the brown shades and the balk above the waist.

Other than that you simple dissapear into the snow and the landscape.

Not meaning to offend you only want to offer 3rd party suggestions.
The camo you have is amazing for stalking/ or still hunting from the ground, but
in a tree stand it against skyline and branches it makes you a blob.

No offense inteneded, just telling you what I see.

Look at your own pics. like I did, what do you see.

Black, ahhh deer are not the ones to worry about, two legged critters are the ones who take them...so cam them up. It to prevent deer from noticing rather the persons out and about...
