Plaid camo?

[3Feathers]

Who wears plaid insead of modern camo patterns????

[adkmountainken]

i do, half the price and works just as well.

[jcar315]

Me!

For me the choice is to not wear any camo of any type any time I am in the field.

BUT to each his own.

Sometimes, just traded a great shirt jac from ADKKEN, Green, gray, and, black plaid really blends in in the hemlocks....

Hi guys  

I wear camo  usually  but not always.

[GingivitisKahn]

My warmer weather (early season) tends to be more camoish and my late season stuff isn't.  I've killed deer with and without the camo - don't think it really matters much or at all, to be honest.

Was wearing this (more or less - hood rather than hat and Main Hunting Shoe rather than LaCross but whatever) Friday when I killed a nice big fatty doe.  Didn't have a stitch of visible camo.

I do have some camo, but it's not my first choice.

My favorite warm season is a plaid shirt with camo pants (only because I haven't gotten the pants I really, really like in a solid yet!)

When it gets cold, it's back to camo as all the coats are that way.

[greyghost]

Plaid cotton shirt for warm weather, and wool solid and plaid for cold weather.

Early season pants are carhartt lt. brown and then wool for late/cold weather.

I hope I have stopped growing side ways so I will not have to do any new wardrobe upgrades.

Looks like I will be giving it a try the rest of the season. Just bought a red/black plaid wool coat yesterday.

I wear plaid many times, but just recently bought an ASAT wool camo outfit. Like to wear the camo pants and plaid though. I get close to deer and they don't seem to mind!! It's when I fire little missles at them that they seem to mind the most!! lol

I end up mixing and matching both...alot of times plaid tops and camo bottoms.  
I totaly gave up carbon clothing,  but Im not totaly giving up camo!

Mr. 3Feathers,
Have not worn camo in almost 20 years.  Plaids and/or solids are serving us well; be it Moose, Caribou, Grizz or Grouse we are after.  Same for Black Bear, Wolf, Coyote and Snowshoe Hare.
Best Wishes

Filson, Pendleton, Woolrich, Main Guide (LLBean) are just a few I prefer over camo.

[trubltrubl]

wear both...don't understand the guys who shun camo... I like the trad plaid look somtimes...sometimes wear a ghillie or camo..what is the stigma...never understood ....

[ti-guy]

I'm sold to wool and it seems like the top notch quality wool clothing is found in camo only.(Don't know about Asbel an LaClair).But I love the trad plaid,it just fit pefecly with trad bowhunting.

[YORNOC]

I dont quite get the anti camo thing either. Well maybe...I guess its like someone who chooses a selfbow over a laminated bow...or a recurve over a longbow? Or a baseball cap over a boonie.... Just a personal preference?
I like camo, I don't think it works any better than a good plaid, but I like it.
When its cold I usually have on some type of wool plaid, just because its a lot more available at better prices than wool camo of the same quality.
But if the cost was the same I'd have the wool camo, because I love the look of it.
Those Asbell pullovers are looking pretty darn good though!!!

I personally think that most not all bust most camo makes you look like a black blob at distances past 40 yards or so. Like I said most but not all.

Keeping the Faith!

I should add....I'm talking about deer hunting. When turkey hunting I pay close attention to my camoflauge.

When deer hunting I practice good camoflauge techniques, but I'm not concerned about a pattern.

trubltrubl - no stigma against it for me, I just don't get hung up on the hype of it all. I actually got a call once from a guy who was frustrated that he had to stop at the store on the way to his evening sit....it seems he couldn't find his matching camo gloves, he only had a pair of brown jersey gloves......" I sure hope Walmart has the right pattern....." I hung up laughing.

Its not an "Anti-Camo" thing. (though after wearing it daily for 20 yrs the novelty has worn off) Its more for nostalgia and the reason I shoot trad in the first place. That older, simpler ways still work just as well as the new mordern ways. That I like things a little more challenging, its one thing to reach out with your bow and touch a wild deer in a gillie suit and quite another feeling to do so in an Emer Fudd plaid coat and malone bibs. I have both in wool and mix and match all the time.
