What's type of camo will you use this hunting season?
« on: August 20, 2009, 12:40:00 PM »
With the hunting season SLOWLY approaching I was wondering what type of camo everyone plans to use this year.
I have some old tree bark camo that I used years ago but may go with a 3-D type this year.

Mix of mountain mimicry and Optifade...both in Sitka Gear. The camo works great but I am more concerned about the clothing itself. Where I hunt, the camo pattern is secondary to the capabilities/material/construction of the clothing.

Well, the biggest boar I have ever been able to get a shot at I walked up on while I was carrying a cup of coffee, wearing Wrangler jeans and a bright red USMC sweat shirt that still smelled like a mix of the bar I was in the night before and the crown and coke that got thrown on me and I was a little bit hung over.

So I think I'll try that again.

I got a deal on one of those leafy suits so I'm going to look like a fat bush I guess. The good thing about this is that I can wear anything under it. I can dress for the cold or light for the warm days.

Like JC, I'll be wearing Mountain Mimicry and Optifade from Sitka Gear.  While I think clothing material, stand site selection, and hunter stealth are more important than camouflage pattern, the two afore-mentioned patterns are really good and more open than the two or three patterns you see on all the hunting shows (which I think are way too dark for most applications).

Mossy Oak Brush and Mossy Oak Treestand for my  elkin trip in Colorado and for whitetails in Alabama.  It may or may not matter but preparation is part of the fun.

I mix n match my camo. Predator on top or bottom. Game hide pants or mossyoak depends on mood n terrain. I think this hepls to break up outline. Always try to go opposite on top n bottom

I don't own any 2 pieces of hunting clothes that are the same camo pattern, and what I do have is 15-20 yrs old.

Be scent free, be still, watch the wind, then it won't matter what you wear.

If the camo hunting clothes industry depended on me to make a living, they would have gone broke years ago.

Whatever my bleary eyed, hung over hand grabs first at 0dark:30 Probably two pairs of pants.

Deer are such inconsiderate creatures. Why in God's name they feel the need to be up & about at 4AM is a mystery to me.

Whatever I can find in the back room. Don't do the scent free stuff...did breakdown and buy two pairs of camo pants from Cabela's for $9.99 ea. and another short brimmed floppy lid.
