Ghillie Suit

This is my buddy Braumeister in his ghillie suit. 

He looks like some creature that just crawled out of the swamp doesn't he?  He uses this to blend-in with his surroundings when he hunts deer and turkey. 

And blend-in he does.  Last weekend he had four deer approach him at a distance of about 15 feet.  They knew something wasn't quite right but Brau never flinched or gave away his position.  The deer probably weren't spooked by something that smells like musty jute rope.

In case you're wondering why my pal Brau didn't kill one of those deer - all he had was a shotgun for killing the wily turkey.

Of course he didn't see any turkeys.  That's because nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
