Magic Moments and Advantages Provided by a Ghillie Suit
When I was a child, we played “army” a lot on week-ends during the school year. We didn’t have paintball guns or ghillie suits, but we had tons of fun. I sometimes wonder if we had been a little more “kitted out” if we would have enjoyed it anymore. Probably not. If we had been able to just lay eyes on a real ghillie suit that would have been fodder for dreams and tall tales for a long time.
As we aged and began to hunt we made various attempts at camouflage. Mostly all that did was scare away the game. Some of the “well-to-do” kids had camouflage shirts and pants and jackets, but it didn’t seem to contribute much to their success as a hunter. We heard rumors of people using ghillie suits with great success, but no one in our part of the woods had ever seen one. That would change as we grew to an age to play “army” for real.
If we could somehow skip the ages from 17 to 26 there would be no more war. The ‘ol farts that send young men off to die aren’t about to fight themselves and any man over 26 years old has got enough sense to find something else to do. The woods would be full of men in ghillie suits hiding from the politicians.
By the time Paintball came along, arthritis and fat had slowed me to the point I would have been a mere spectator, but I had some friends that enjoyed it a lot. They used to brag about the incredible advantage a ghillie suit gave them. Now-a-days almost everyone on the paintball fields have one. It seems ghillie suits get to be somewhat controversial because the paintballs get tangled up in all that string and fail to pop. Thats another advantage for those in ghillie suits and unfair in the eyes of those without one. As a purveyor of ghillie suits, I say everyone should have one(and a spare).
Paintball does not by any means account for all the ghillie suits. As more hunters learn to use them, the advantage over Bambi’s Mom becomes more apparent. Hunters orange doesn’t diminish the effectiveness one iota as most of our 4 footed friends are color-blind. A bow hunter can benefit more than anyone, because with a ghillie suit he doesn’t have to rush his shot.
I know of a lady who is an avid birder. She sets up in a ghillie blind with a ghillie poncho on and has great success. With birds, camouflage is not enough, as they key on the most microscopic movements. Hence the ghillie blind.
I get the greatest pleasure selling kids ghillie suits because I know that somewhere a magic moment is coming. Every kid should get one or several of those magic moments before they grow out of magic moments
Come let www.ghilliesandstuff.com help your kid(no matter how old) into a magic moment.
Happy Woodsying!
