I think that mismatched camo should count for this club y'all are starting at least at the associate member level.  Let's say that you have a minimum of three different types of camo in your outfit, that has to count for something.

I'm a mixer and matcher.  When the weather permits, I'll be in my heavy grey longhunter shirt and a filson plaid vest but the only pants I have that have the appropriate number of pockets and level of comfort are camo.  Also, I'll be wearing a bandana and/or face mask that is camo.

I'm with you in spirit but not in fact. :-D

Ian, Face masks are OK (for "skeeter" purposes) and burnt cork is "legal" LOL (after all,it's "all natural")

I've never been a big believer in face camo (just don't look 'em in the eye) but I know many folks are.

I really don't like the way camo looks, any of the patterns, and it certainly is not needed. I have my share of the stuff. I use all kinds of crazy combinations, whatever is clean and ready to go. I buy what I like, the heck with the deer, they won't see me anyway if I am in the shadows and don't move    :D

I'm with Killdeer,
One of my favorite hunting tops is a 34 year old "TREE BARK" Hooded sweat shirt. It has wear marks along the zipper from climbing trees and sliding down in a hurry when I got "lucky". There a lot memories with that top even though my buddies make fun of it at our club's 3D shoots!

I've got solid dark green wool pants, Swiss army pants my buddy Randy gave me (cause they were too tight for him!)and some new stuff including a Gray Longhunter Shirt (thank's to Ron LaClair)

If you want to wear plaid that's cool. I do too!  What I take on a given day depends on the temperature, if it going to rain/snow and mostly what is clean and doesn't smell too bad!

I don't think any less of a wild tiger wearing his stripes. God gave creatures natural camo... and I'll wear mine too. (although not natural ha!)

Do respect you wool and plaid guys though!

One of the funniest things I've seen in the woods was Dan Quillian going into the woods on our club in south GA, wearing a fake fur jacket he'd come up with somewhere, that was made up of multicolored strips. He was planning to stand on a stump that evening, and it blended well. He didn't own any camo. He was tall and kind of gangly with age, and the sight of him in that coat with longbow in hand is still stuck in my mind. A true mutant.

I think camo works better if you mix up patterns. I use it or not, depending on my mood and whether I have anything dull enough handy that's not camo. I shotgunned a turkey once in bluejeans, but I cheated some by sitting on the ground and raking some leaves over my legs. I do have to cover my gray/white beard, though- I've had deer stare at it when ground hunting. And you can get headnets that aren't camo- I have one.

I'll play along so long as the non camo I have will keep me warm enuf.  Early season is always plaid shirts and plain wool pants, anyway.  When it gets cold enuf, I'm rather fond of my Sleeping Indian, not so much for the color, but for its fit and function as good hunting clothing.
