I picked up a Suzuki mini truck last weekend to use for night calling. Came with a lift kit and ATV tires plus its 4-wheel drive. Plan to get it all camo up and set up for the gear I will be bringing along. Due to size it's much easier to hind here in flat country and it has good heater plus I can drive into some of the big sections to call.

Wouldn't flat black be more better than camo ????
Or better yet, throw a fitted freight 'chute over it and sit on top wearing a Ghillie Suit.

It be just simple camo, Tan, light brown to blend in with the roads mainly and winter grass. Talked with few of the night hunters and they prefer some sort of light brown like Carhart's for camo. Seems work the best and black is a no, no, and so is white when snow on ground.
I have a few ghillie suits but nothing to fit over my winter clothes. I do have camo netting in light shades of brown and will make a roll up for front windshield and side windows. I can't shoot off from it feet have to be on ground but may use it for a wind block if I need it. Will have to see how it looks when I finish. and then test it out this fall on live coyotes they will tell me if it works or don't.
