Hi:
I am new so please forgive me if this has already been discussed. Do any of you ghillie your guns out or put on any type of cammo on?

Ronin; Welcome to the new Huntmasters forum.
as for camo; I used Krylon paint... others us the ghillie wraps, some use the skins from Beartooth outfitters, others just ensure a dull finish and don't touch it...
Again, welcome aboard

Ronin,
There was a time when I camo painted my calling guns, but I don't bother with it anymore. I believe that shiny stocks and barrels are not really a good thing, but sitting in the shade cures that problem.

If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

Ronin,
My Ruger with a synthetic stock is camo painted, but my Howa has a laminate has stock and its pattern suffices well enough. I used the technique outlined by Silverdog on the PM board years ago and am very happy with it. In fact, I camo everything, including my ATV with that technique. Was considering the tatoo approach for me but the wife put a stop to that. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
--------------------
I am only one. But still, I am one. I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something; and, because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

Rich pretty much covered it in his asessment, besides, you just can't camo the part of the rifle that most of the coyotes coming to the gun could see:)

AZ-Hunter nailed it.
I've been after my wife to paint a big yellow smiley face on the crown of my calling rifle for two years now. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I figure if I sit in the shade, and pay attention on a stand. The crown should be the only part of the 27" fluted Stainless steel barrel any coyote should see.
And at that point, it's too late for him to notice.
--------------------
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take
an ass kickin'.

I'm occasionally indifferent about gun camo, myself. However, it doesn't hurt, a bit.
Good hunting. LB
Had you AZ guys said "objective lens" I'd agree a little more enthusiastically.
Shade: sometimes available, sometimes not.
Good hunting. LB
