PowerHunter

[Matt Powers]

I just put out a thread on the "Ask the Avery Pro-Staff" Forum about what color to get my layout in. It sounds like Field Khaki is the way to go. Unfortunately, the store that I'm getting them at is backordered on their Field Khaki PowerHunters until the end of the season. Would Natural Gear work just as well for me? The price difference between Khaki and Nat Gear\Shadowgrass doesn't matter to me. I'm going to hunt alfalfa fields, beans, and picked and chopped corn. I will mostly be hunting cornfields.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!!

I dont think it truly matters once you mud, killerweed, and stubble your blind. I personaly have shadowgrass blinds and i hunt corn 95% of the time, and use the All Terrain killerweed kit.

Hope this helps!

I don't think you can go wrong with either. At this time, I would lean more towards Shadow Grass for the conditions you hunt in.

Thanks,

Nat Gear blends into everything

You would be ok with either, especially after you mud them.

To me Natgear is the most versatile camo on the market. It blends with most everything and then add some mud and natural cover, and you'll be GONE.

I have Field Khaki blinds, Shadowgrass, and Max4 too. All my blinds have been mudded, and I have applied Killer Weed also. I hunt "no till" fields and "min till" fields with both colors, and once mudded properly and stubbled up, they blend equally.

If given the choice that you have, I would give heavy consideration to the Nat Gear. I heard something funny about Nat Gear from some vendor reps about camo patterns - they basically said Nat Gear is probably the best camo out there, but it doesn't have the sales appeal other patterns have. Basically, it doesn't look as cool on the hanger or shelf in the store!

Also, for cut corn and beans, I like the Golden Harvest Killer Weed. The colors blend in nice, and in our part of the midwest (IL and MN) it is not uncommon to see chaf and grass in the rows of corn, or piles of bean stalk chaf in the harvested fields.

If you are going to hunt alot of corn and beans i would go with shadowgrass.

Not trying to steal the thread, but have a question...

Hey Jeff, is that corn field in your pic, a typical MD corn field? I'm not trying to be a wisearse, but ours look a bit different. Here is a pic that I posted before on this site which shows a typical no-till field here in the upper Midwest.



Sometimes the birds don't want to come into the corn if the stubble is too high! Also, the Ground Force dog blind in the pic had not yet been mudded and KW'd when the pic was taken.

Dave for some reason here in the west part of the state the farmers disk the field and put in a cover crop. [ winter wheat ] I love a field like the one in your photo man can you hide!!!!
