    Ghillie suit action...

    So my hunting partner and I picked up an early Christmas present for ourselves and went out to the marsh to go try out our new ghillie suits. We had an awesome day in the fog. The suits worked amazingly well! As long as we kept still, the ducks would come right over top of us and land in our decoy set. And with it being so late in the season, these ducks have been through the gauntlet so I was really impressed how the birds wouldn't flare away from us where they would veer of miles away had we had a traditional blind setup. It's also really nice not having to lug out all the extra blind material too. Now we are the blind!

    I didn't happen unless there are pictures to prove it, so here are a few from the day.

    So you just sit in the suit and the birds are tricked? That's pretty cool. Although I'm not a waterfowler so don't know much about it
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    Pretty much. Does a good job of breaking up your profile. Works even better in cover but worked well in the open too

    Cool, great they work for you. Success is in the pudding.

    Besides, takes ya back to being like Swamp thing or Gillman.... And since when do we care about what we look like when hunting...... Or at least I don't.

    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    The other thing too is that it sure is nice not having to pack a blind anymore. And the birds were noticeably behaving differently than when we were in the blind. Heck some Canadian geese flew right over our set and didn't even flinch. Too bad for that 3 week break otherwise we would have bagged them!

    That's funny you mentioned swamp thing. That's exactly what came to mind when we saw the photos of ourselves

    I bought mine out of the states. Paid 110 with shipping so that's a good deal as long as the quality is there. You can buy direct from theghilliesuits.com for 69 usd.
