Several years ago, I was on a turkey hunt with many of the very famous turkey hunters and callers. One of the fellows asked the question, “What innovation in turkey hunting has made you a more successful hunter?” Without hesitation, one of the older hunters said “improved camouflage”. He went on to say that when he began hunting, no one used face masks or gloves and the few camo patterns that were available did not blend in every situation.
I think that the same can be said for predator calling. Until Mossy Oak introduced the Brush pattern, there was not a pattern that really blended with the open western terrain that I so dearly love to hunt. I have found that I am able to hide in very open terrain with very little cover. Another reason that I am able to call some very open terrain is the electronic predator call with remote capabilities. The animal calls produced by the Compucaller keeps the predator’s attention directed away from the hunter.

I agree….Mossy Oak Brush works well here too!! It this area of Arkansas and Oklahoma, it blends well with the various grasses and foliage, most especially after the leaves/grasses begin to turn in early fall.

Amen to that
