Mossy Oak Launches New Duck Camo

At the 2013 Shot Show in Las Vegas, Mossy Oak Brand Camo introduced their new line of camouflage for waterfowlers.  The new camo is called Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades.  This pattern, like Mossy Oak Break Up Infinity, has been created with almost 3D-like images.  With MO Break Up Infinity, Mossy Oak launched their new way of making camo; by adding layers upon layers of images. This gives the pattern a look of piled up grasses and cover. The new MO Shadow Grass Blades was created by researchers who took sample grasses from up and down the Mississippi flyway. The images were then added together to become this new camo.  

Years ago, MO launched their counterpart to Realtree Max-4 with the introduction of Mossy Oak Duck Blind.  The idea of MO Duck Blind was to provide a lighter version of waterfowling camo, as well as provide a pattern that worked in all areas of the country. Many hunters complained that the RT Max-4 was too dark, and from the sky they looked like big dark spots when in light-colored cover.  I too had experienced this, and in turn made a switch to MO Duck Blind.  Now that they've released the new MO Shadow Grass Blades, I may have to make a switch again. With MO now launching two new patterns to the one that Realtree has, I'm interested to see what Realtree will come out with to compare. 

Many other companies have great camo for waterfowlers, and a lot of it comes down personal preference and where you're hunting. Some days, I think the dark RT Max-4 camo would be better than the MO Duck Blind. Sometimes in cattails or cornfields, I think Avery's Killer Weed would be the better choice.  It is all relevant to location, timing, and what you're trying to achieve.

To us here at Willowpine Outdoors, Mossy Oak has proven to be the leader in industry camouflage  and I can't wait to see what they come out with next.  Below are some other examples of waterfowling camo available on the market today.
