Snow Camo

[Matt Brummette]

Looking to get some snow camouflage wheres the best deals. From what I can find online theres only a couple different kinds. Just looking for something to slip on over my winter gear. The cheaper the better, but wouldn't mind paying for the water proof stuff. This would be mostly for yote hunting from fence rows and edges of wood lots. Also any one use the Prey Master Digital caller?
My buddy just picked one up.

I cant post photos yet, but have a nice insulated coverall from Cabelas. Unfortunately I think they stopped carrying it. They and Gader Mountain carry some slip-over snow camo. Inexpensive too! As far as the Preymaster, I didn't care for the sound quality or the remote range( if yours has a remote). I sold mine on e-bay. I personally use a call from Wildlife Technologies and really like it. Have heard good things about FoxPro too.

in Flint carries snow camo. Reasonable and you can slip the top over your other clothes and the bottoms pull over your lower end and boots with ease.

The "Predator" line has a set of coveralls for $69.95,... here's a link to their website:

Hi there,

I spent too much money on fishing last year and there was not much left for hunting so I bought Tyvek painting overalls (white) at Lowes ($ 10.00) and used big black permanent marker to draw cammo patterns on it. It lasted one season for all my coyote hunting. It worked great. If it were not for my orange hat, there would be no way to see me at all, not a chance. It was waterproof too just not breathable, so I just put it on when I got to my set over my winter gear.

I know it's cheap but it worked great. $ 10.00 per season and no worries about damaging it in any way.

Was watching this show on the Sportsman Channel and they were peddeling a camo made by a company called Camo Booty!! Yep, you heard it right, and yes you are correct in thinking what the pattern might look like. They make a snow camo color. I must say that I like the idea of a Tyvek painting suit. Thanks for the tip. I was also unaware of the fact that I need to wear orange, looks like I will have to consider that going forward!!

I also just took shipment of my Preymaster call. I decided to spend $100 on a call instead of the $400+ for the FoxPro. I know that it is nice to have the wireless feature, but not sure if it is worth the extra loot for me. I will admit that the spreading out the cord every set is a little annoying, but ain't no thing to me. My buddy and I are new to this predator hunting thing, and are just getting started. Hopefully we can luck ourselves into a dog or a fox. Only one way to find out!!!

i have a prey master and have had pretty good succes with it on coyote fox and cats,but ill be switching to a foxpro once i get the money because i am sick of haveing a tangeld cord everytime i go out and you can get a larger variety of sounds from foxpro. for snow camo id look at places like dunhams or dicks they usualy have some pretty cheap camo.

I have found the tyvek suite works great and you don't worry about ripping it. Another thing I have done was buy a 4-XL whit butchers coat from a uniform company (Or Dixe land flea market in Pontiac/Waterford). They worked great also. I liked the tyvek instead of using a marker I used spray pait to make to marks on both of them. Another idea is go to a fabric shop and you can buy bulk cloth and make your own.

I need to keep stopping by this forum more often. I am just getting started in this predator hunting thing, and really do not know much about it. I have started to read some magazines and watch vidoes. Now I have this forum to get tips and techniques. I love the idea of a butchers coat as well as the tyvek suit. Like one of the articles that I read said, " you need to stay positive and keep at it". So that is my M.O. for the season, and perhaps if I am lucky I will get an opportunity to harvest a critter of some sort this year. Thanks, for the great tips, and keep them coming for this newbie.

I found some snow camo at a army surplus store online. 20 bucks for pants and jacket, its all white so I'll be making some branches on it. My buddy just got his caller yesterday and I stopped out to listen to it, not to bad. I'm sure it doesn't sound like a foxpro but it doesn't cost as much either. Looking forward to getting out and trying it, praying for some fresh snow for Saturday. Anyone make up a cool carrying case for the preymaster caller with cord? I'm thinking of taking the base off the speaker and fitting the speaker in a large flash light with front stand to get the sound up a little, the wire could run out the back and you could also store the wire and controller in the flash light housing.

[MallardMaster]

Just my $.02 on how I store my Preymaster. I take my cord and loop it up every time after I am done with a set. I use either twist ties or re-usable zip-ties and bundle it up "neat". I am also thinking about drilling a hole in the bottom of my caller base and looping a peice of wire through it so I can put it around a branch in a tree. I also use a little Plano stow-away tackle box to store my calls. All of this goes into a "Blind-Bag" of sorts. A back-pack will work just as well. I am interested in hearing what others do.

I used my sons old ghost costume which was a white bedsheet. Cut a hole in the middle and slip it over.

You will need a belt for the pants once they are over your warm clothes. Quiet, cheap, and effectively allows you to do the same thing as the paint suit or butcher outfit. Tomorro, this is going to be used with the ole' smoke pole for deer. I considered the white sheet idea, but my warmest clothes are camo or hunter's orange and I wondered if it would make my movements reveal at the moment of truth.

In a lot of ways, if you don't move it doesn't really matter if you have snow camo or not. Generally sit in some type of cover, have consistantly taken 'yotes at close range (10 - 100yds) in WWII brown, asst Advantages and Snow patterns during the winter. Don't move, doesn't matter. Gun needs to be camo'd, usually wrap mine in strips of tyvek & burlap.

has worked great for me. It is cheap, very durable and made in USA! I have a little experience living in the stuff for extended periods...;)

Since I have my underlayering figured out, and I end up "dressing" on site to avoid sweating.

I use for the 3XL Long sleeve camo shirts for everything. I usually find endo of season closeouts 1/2 off or better. I must have 9+ shirts in various camo patterns. This allows me to blend in just a bit better. Plus the flexability to vary my locations and move. Seems that I am wearing my lighter colored evergreen camo most often when I "score"
