  • Why Hunters Need A Ghillie Suit
    By: James Mizzell | - I hear too many hunters arguing that a Ghillie suit is of no use to a hunter. No tool is of use to any craftsman unless he knows how to use it.

The argument says that if one has to wear the orange it defeats the advantage of a Ghillie suit. Not true. Game animals are for the most part color blind. The wearing of orange, with or without camouflage ...
