Hunting Ghillie Suit by Anthony West
Hunters are always looking for ways to become more more effective and successful in their hunting escapades. Remaining hidden is important in stalking prey, animals such as deer are quite smart, and will run at any sense of danger. To get hunters the extra edge they wear a Ghillie suit. Now they can get closer than ever before. By reducing your visibility to game, you greatly increase your chances that they will come within a closer range. This puts you closer to game and closer to the hunt! Although most designs for Ghillie suits will work fine in hunting situations, the most effective hunting Ghillie suits are the Bow Hunter, the Bushrag, and the Stalker.
The Bow Hunter Ghillie suit is a one piece Ghillie suit. The Bow Hunter Ghillie suit is designed specifically for archers as the inside shooting arm and chest areas are left without the jute/burlap material, meaning no interference when the hunter is pulling back his bow string. However, there are a few issues with the suit. Because it is a one piece suit and is essentially a long coat, some may have trouble climbing into tree stands with the suit. The suit is also made of natural jute so it is a heavier suit than the lightweight ones.
The Bushrag is a Ghillie suit that comes complete with 7 different colours of jute/burlap, head and body netting, directions and fire retardant. Whilst the Bushrag Ghillie suit is mainly designed for an upright stalk, this kit can also be adjusted for a military style Ghillie suit for crawling stalks. One of the main types of Bushrag suits is the Chameleon Ghillie suit. Although slightly more expensive than the other models of Ghillie suit is one of the premier choices for fast paced combat. This type of suit is designed for mobility and allows the wearer to relocate quickly and without notice. The Chameleon’s camouflage ability is created using over 700 synthetic colored leaves. When compared to other jute twine suits, this suit provides superior concealment in leafy woods or during fall where the ground is littered with leaves.
The Stalker is designed with patience in mind. The front covers the torso while the back is completely covered while crawling or laying down, only the legs are exposed. Its exactly what you need for a laying or crawling stalk, absolutley perfect for hunting Coyotes! One size fits all and the suit may be trimmed to fit. Fabric is pre-treated with a Class "A" fire-retardant and normally weighs around 6lbs.

mauser question WWII or purchased from company after the war?
Mauser makes great firearms no doubt about it. They have continued their legacy still making fine hunting rifles. Many years ago my grandfather purchased one very cheap because he was in need of a hunting rifle. The bluing and outer part of the barrel were a little rough but safe, and the barrel is mint, as it still is today. It has a different stock than ones from WWII tapering and only going halfway down the barrel and only covering the bottom half. It has a sight with a deer on it which isn't from the war. How can I tell if it is a rifle that was a war rifle and made into a hunting weapon like they did with many 303's and Springfields after the war, or purchased directly from the company post war intended for hunting instead of war?
Look for Nazi markings. If it has them, then check the bolt handle. Does it stick straight out, or is it bent down? A straight one is an older Gewehr 98 model, while a bent down bolt is most likely a karabiner 98. My grandfather gave me a Kar98k, and it had a similar stock...no upper half and handgaurd cut shorter. He sporterized it by cutting the stock, but it was otherwise original.
Some GIs returning from WWII brought back Mausers and cut the stock short and unscrewed the stock from the action so they would fit in duffel bags. This is called a duffel bag cut. If it has a deer any where on it its not from the war rifle. -There are several mauser variants with half-cut stocks from the factory but are fairly rare.
Check the top of the receiver for markings such as duo, dot, byz, etc. This was the manufacture factory. The two numbers below it signifying the year assembled.
If it has no marks like this, then its either a mauser of another origin, eg. Swedish, Turkish, Persian, Argentinian, etc. Or probably a reproduction sporter model mauser.
If its an 8mm caliber, be careful on the ammo you buy. Older mausers like the gewehr 98 used a cal. .318 bore, while newer models use a .323 bore. However, both may be just simply referred to as 7.92x57mm or 8mm mauser. Sometimes they have designations such as 'IS' or 'JS'. IS referring to cal. .318 while the latter is .323.
