I was gonna guess a baby big foot taking a squat.


So does it work? Do yotes not see you or do they just laugh themselves to death?

You would be surprised at how well dogs see. Really the only colors they dont see well are red,yellow, and orange. Also their visual clarity is about on par with our own. The trick is to look as far from being a human out line as possible. They see you in a suit it but as long as you are still it doesn't tickle their spidy sense.

So, what was the process in making your ghillie suit? Very cool - them yote's don't know what is in store for them!

Well for raw materials.
One net with 1" squares
10 burlap sand bags and 5 50lb potato sacks (free from work and local market)
1 of my cammo uniform shirts (if you have an old faded cammo long sleeve button shirt that will work)
1 cammo ball cap (an old one I have been using for years)
Rit Dye dark green and dark brown (got at Wal-Mart)

Here is where I got my basic instructions but I did a few things to cut cost. It is labor intensive and is not something I would make if I didn't have a use for it. But I am pleased with the results and hopefully it reduces my number of dogs hanging up on me at ranges I am not comfortable with.

Its Scottish it means Man. Scottish game keepers would wear them to hunt game and poachers on the lords land.

Weren't the ghillies from Scotland chosen for sniper duty by the Brits in WWI?

Yes they were. They also acted as instructors of field craft at the training courses.

Way back when, they used to think canines didnt see colors. Now, they are saying that they believe they see in blues, greens, and greys. Movement really is noticed by canines. I believe they see contrasts well also, particularlry moving contrasts.
