Quick answer

Choose Mossy Oak Bottomland Tan if you want the widest size range and a classic tan camo. Pick Susquehanna/Mossy Oak Shadow Grass if you want a limited Archive Series reissue in OG Shadow Grass. Choose Cheyenne Bottoms if you want a limited Flyway Series pattern that supports Ducks Unlimited.

Pattern availability and what it signals

The three G1 Kennel camo options differ most in how they are released. Bottomland Tan is a standard pattern available in Small, Medium, Intermediate, and Large. Susquehanna/Mossy Oak Shadow Grass is part of the Archive Series, a limited re-issue of a requested Flyway color. Cheyenne Bottoms is the seventh Flyway Series release, a limited-edition color inspired by a Central Flyway wetland.

That matters if you need a specific size or expect to add another kennel later. A standard pattern is easier to match over time; a limited pattern may not be available when you want a second kennel.

The trade-off between collectibility and practicality

Limited patterns like Shadow Grass and Cheyenne Bottoms carry a story: Shadow Grass is a 30-year-old classic camo for duck and goose hunters, and Cheyenne Bottoms pays tribute to a legendary stop on the Central Flyway. Bottomland Tan is the straightforward choice when you want a rugged outdoor look without chasing a limited release.

None of the supplied facts show a performance difference between the patterns. The kennel build is described the same way across the line, so treat the camo choice as cosmetic and availability-driven rather than functional.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Mossy Oak Bottomland Tan: Standard pattern with the widest size range (Small through Large). Trade-off: less exclusive than the limited releases, but easier to find and match. Best if you need a guaranteed size or plan to buy a second kennel later.
  • Susquehanna / Mossy Oak Shadow Grass: Limited Archive Series reissue of a classic 30-year-old camo. Trade-off: limited availability and size options may be narrower than Bottomland Tan. Buy it when you see your size if you want the OG Shadow Grass look.
  • Cheyenne Bottoms: Limited Flyway Series pattern with proceeds to Ducks Unlimited. Trade-off: the most niche pattern, so availability is the main constraint. Pick this if conservation support and a limited-edition story matter to you.
