I haven't been wearing camo as much, been buying a lot of fleece in the solid gray and olive colors and they work great in tree stands. Quiet and warm, with the pants usually dark brown or camo. Most of my coats are camo.

I always wear camo when scouting, hanging atands and bowfishing. The soft material BDU pants are comfortable. I like the pockets when hanging stands.

Camo, as cotton will kill you in the backcountry and the camo high tech stuff when on sale is cheaper than it's non camo cousins of the same material.

Sitka gear on sale is a great investment.  I can't afford it at retail though...

I like camo, Predator. I have other stuff, but don't like it as much. Camo is kind of like fishing lures, some are designed to catch the hunter.

Whatever camo is on sale at the Army/Navy store is what I wear unless I find something at the Goodwill store.
It's not about the kill but the experience.

Mr. Northwest_Bowhunter,
We no longer use "camo" (over 19 years now) as we do not find it necessary for our style of hunting.  We spot & stalk Moose, Caribou, Grizz and Black Bear.  Wearing wool clothing, for the most part.  Same for all of our small game hunting.
Best Wishes

I'm kind of mix and match - a little bit of both. But I'm looking to get some muted wool for this fall. [email protected] has some wool gear coming out that I want to see. It's on another thread here and was featured on TradBow magazine cover. Fred Asbell was in that mag in an article NOT in camo, but he sure looked concealed. Muted plaid and face paint. Nice and simple. The Camo stuff always costs more. Watch the wind and the movement as has been mentioned is the most important, tho.
