Pumpkin Ghillie for the ground

This is the Ghillie ring I made a while back to go over a boonie hat. That way you can use the hat with or without the ring. It is just a rope ring with strips of orange cloth tied to it.

great idea....i might try that with paracord through one of those cord lock things that adjust cord length and then tie off it

no way it can get in the string?
 
Yes, the ring can be anything strong enough to give it some structure. I made the strips long on the back and sides and short on the front, so they don't get in the way.

With 2 and a half months of uninterrupted and unrelenting high powered rifle season starting here tomorrow morning, I decided to make a "pumpkin ghillie" for those occasions when I want to hunt off the ground and not get shot in the process. It is a simple orange cotton hoodie with some strips of hunter pumpkin orange sewed on randomly. Do any of you do something similar? What are your thoughts on ground hunting/deer stalking during rifle season?

Not going to lie, I'm a little disappointed here. I thought for sure the picture was going to be something like this...

Forget breaking up your outline, just make yourself look like something else entirely that isn't threatening. :tearsofjoy:
