Mossy Oak Bottomland: The Original Fistful of Dirt Pattern

Original Bottomland is the pattern that launched Mossy Oak more than 35 years ago. Driven by a desire to get closer to turkeys in Mississippi and Alabama, Toxey Haas turned a fistful of dirt, sticks and leaves into the most natural looking camouflage the hunting world had seen.

In 2003, we launched a second version of Bottomland. Created with the same dirt, sticks and leaves but with a slightly muddier look, Bottomland has become a uniform for flooded timber duck hunters and anyone else who hunts with their back against a tree.

Bottomland in both of its forms is More Than Camo. Each has been adopted as the go-to pattern for gamekeepers everywhere in and out of the woods - whether in-season, at the camp or working the dirt 12 months of the year. Bottomland represents a true connection to nature and the generation of hunters who’ve loved the land and critters before us.
