I've been looking for the exact head piece for this combo pant/shirt to no avail. Anybody seen one?

Haven't seen that pattern, but to get close I would try wearing a white hood, with a black face mask.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

Is this just because you like your clothes to match, or do you think it will make a difference to the deer seeing you?  By the way, nice camo pattern. Big patterns are best from my humble opinion because they dont blob up as much from  a distance and they break up our outline better.

The trick with camo is to match the background of where you're hunting at the time.

Out here in CO in the dry grass n weeds, sage etc. A straw tan would be great. Not many outfits have been made that I've found with the colors we need in this stuff.

I resorted to using a tan Carhart canvas jacket daubbed all over in splotch's with dark walnut wood stain.  I've been told it blends in to be hard to see when I'm on stand.

To be honest, it very much looks like some dirty mechanic's work jacket covered with grease even when freshly washed.  It was handy as I'd been wearing it several yrs and needed a new coat. About the time I needed that color camo H/D came along with new coats for less than half price.  It's been used on over 80 coyote kills so far.

Need to find a pair of pants to match, and face mask/cap.
