Default Ghillie suit for hunting - stealthy or stupid?

Any of you ever tried to hunt draped in a Ghillie-suit? The camo-concept seems logical, but, ....maneuverability?

looks like a good way to sweat your nuts off , but it might work.

I have never used one. What are you thinking of hunting?

You get snagged on every stick and piece of brush. Pretty soon you're dragging half the woods with you. Trust me.

In my experience it doesn't really matter what you where as long as you stay still. Ghille or no ghille, if something sees you move then its pretty much game over

That's ^ just so boring, so non-technical, so uninspiring ... yet, so true

I have worn one for goose hunting, and I think they would work well for coyote hunting (stand) as well. Never used them for big game, like mentioned before I think they would snag to much for that, at least the string style would.

I have been less than 10 feet on deer in blaze orange on multiple occasions.U can fool there eyes but there noses they trust 100 per cent of the time.Wind in your face low and slow equals success.
