Thanks! But I can't claim the idea as my own, as I first saw it done on a post here on PM, by Tripod I beleive?
Did you mean "Not nearly as hidden in color as it is when its in black and white"? I think it blends in much more in the Black and White images.
Curious what camo you all would recommend for this cover. I'm going to buy at least two more camo outfits before to long.

I wouldn't jump the gun on getting anymore camo just yet. Predator extreme has a 3 part article starting in the Oct. '08 issue on what colors a coyote realy sees and how it interpets images. It's a real eye opener. They aren't totaly color blind as you might think. Also GC has given some good advice on the most important aspects of predator hunting.

I know they see yellows and blues. I just figured black and white still gets closer to their vision than color images. I also got the Predator Extreme with the first article of the 3 part series. Thing is, I plan on doing a lot of hunting by the time article three comes around, so I'd like to get some alternate camo for different cover. Right now, I'm thinking ASAT.
There is also an article here on PM that addresses the color spectrum coyotes see.
I should have stated I'm aware of the importance of staying absolutely still. I still want to blend as best I can, being a beginner and all.

The leaf-o-flage breaks up your outline very well, but ASAT is a great choice. It's a big pattern and doesn't "blob" as badly as most of the others.

That article in Predator Xtreme didn't have any groundbreaking info. Just about everything it talked about can be found in other articles on the web including articles linked right here at PM. Nothing new at all so far...
I bet the end summary will be that the most effective camo patterns are not "patterns" at all, but a collage of shapes that break up your outline and form. Many of the newer patterns are following this trend, getting away from micro prints that look exactly like a leaf and instead backing up a bit and using a pattern that looks like you're looking right thru the pattern.
A good example is the new RealTree AP HD as pictured above in the original post, although it's really not much different from the old RealTree hardwoods, maybe a little less cluttered. Also, the "Predator" camo patterns aren't bad.
A poor example of camo for predators will be Mossy Oak and Mossy Oak Breakup. The detail is there up close but it's so dark that it looks like a black blob from any distance and it definately does not break up your outline. Same with the military woodland pattern. From 25-50 yards away it just looks like you're wearing very dark clothes and your human form is easily seen (unless the light conditions are just right).
Somewhere in between are patterns like MossyOak Brush and NaturalGear. They blend in pretty well to the human eye, but they really don't break up your outline at all. From a distance they look like a big blob. At least it's not a dark blob. Many of these average patterns, such as RealTree Advantage, look nearly identical from 25-50 yards away.
Here's some examples. See for yourself which patterns actually hide the hunter better than other patterns.

I like MultiCam got started with it paintballing, works really well for fooling human eyes. Hope to find how it does on game this year. What I like about it is how it seems to take on the surrounding colors. Sometimes it seems to be more green while other times it seems to be brown based. Don't ask me how it does it, but it does. You can find BDU's in it for decent prices. Check the pics in the gallery here, clik on first pic to oen the slide show:

I'd like to see some black and white pics of it, just out of curiosity.
peace.
