Alex,
Nice pictures…thanks for sharing. I don’t have any elk hunting pictures yet but hopefully someday! Here is one of a October snow we had a few years ago while I was out in the corn sneaking around for white tails.
Here are the pics of my latest suit…forgive my model for he was not happy about the time wasted taking the pics…he just wanted to stalk the birds in the yard.
the elastic is weaved through the front half of the hood.
Jim,
Great job! I am on my 5th generation of ghillie myself. I keep changing things every year. I started out thick and heavy but have also gone sparse and light. I use 1 inch netting as the base with synthetic jute pieces, wool yarn (thanks Dr. Ashby) and wider strips of fabric (mimic leaves). I use a 3d leafy ASAT jacket which is light and breathable and attach the ghillie to it with large black safety pins. I used to have the hood separate from the back and shoulder piece but this time I kept it one large piece and it seemed to help with weight distribution. I put elastic in the hood portion to make a type of headband to keep it in place on my head. I also wear an ASAT face mask loosely under the hood and also add face paint. I will also add native veggies when I start the season. It is not perfect but it is coming along for my uses. Now that Jim has given me a couple ideas looks like a 6th generation maybe in the works…oh bother!!! the pic is of gen 4 but very similar to 5!
