New Camo - Kings or Predator

Post by MuleyMadness » Thu Jul 16, 2009 10:10 am

Well I'm looking to pick up some new camo this summer.

Been looking at Kings Desert Shadow or Predator Spring Green (not sure on which is best pattern for Predator?)

What what say ye? How many of you use either one? And where is the best place to buy it? Seems like there was someone on here that sold one or the other but can't remember who?

Thanks,
Brett

I use both the Kings Desert shadow and moutain shadow. I ordered my new pants last year from Buckmaster!!! He is the one you are looking for Brett. Anywho I have loved the quality of the Kings stuff that I have. It has lasted very well. :thumb

Haven't used the Kings, but a lot of Predator...The Spring Green has been one of their best patterns! :thumb

Brett,
I would also take a look at ASAT. That is what I use and love it.

Well, I can say for the King's that it blends in well to Utah's Desert/Sage brush. Ive never seen the Predator Camo against it to know if its very effective or not. You man want to also look at Advantage Max-1, it seems to work great for me in desert/sage brush AND in mountain/light pine areas.

I like Nat-Gear, but I'm biased because it is based in my home state of Arkansas. I think it works great out west. We don't have a lot of outdoor manufacturing here, but we do have the Remington Ammunition plant in Lonoke and Natural Gear is based in Little Rock.

For utah predators Kings desert shadow is an almost perfect pattern. I agree with wingmaster that the natural gear is really good out west. I've used both. The desert shadow is best when your set up for a stand next to a sage brush. The natural gear is best when the utah desert dirt is at your back. Both are great camo patterns to use when saving fawns from coyotes.

Never tried the predator spring green so I can't give a good opinion on it.

I use predator and I have been very happy with it. Mine isn't spring green though. It is mostly brown with a hint of green. If I could afford it I would buy ASAT. That stuff is amazing. I went with predator because it closely resembles ASAT more so than all the others. Hope this helps.

Right now I'm leaning towards Kings stuff. I really like the Mountain Shadow, cause it blends well in the high and low country. But I wouldn't mind Predator either, espeacially the green for the bow hunt.
