Which camo pattern for Sept Elk?

[DXH]

Looking at the predator line, and wondering should i get the brown or green?

[IdahoCurt]

What type of terrain are you hunting in? I have brown and green,both work well in mixed timber/open hillsides here in Idaho.

Unless you're hunting roosies, most elk country can be very dry and brown in September. If it were me, I'd go with ASAT or Predator Fall Brown.

Best camo, stay in the shade - don't move.

I like the green predator best for our western US for elk hunting, but their brown works real good as well.You want a hat with a short brim,so when you get them real close you can shield your eyes too.And Im not kiddin,they will see you eyes move if your not thinking about it and close.

Plaid works very well for me. Cheaper than "camo" and seems to not fade out after a couple years of wearing and washing.

[steadman]

I use both, one doesn't seem better than the other. You'd be surpised at the amount of green in the west in Sept.

going plaid this yr

[chsnelk03]

I wear brown pants and green shirt...seems to work pretty good.

[Steve Clandinin]

NOthing better than green or brown predator,I've worn it for years.But I ordered a Asbell Makinaw in Montana Magic I think it will work great especially being Wool.

What's the temp in sept it's not to warm for wool?

[Shedrock]

Mornings in the high country can be in the 20's.

Wool is awfully nice around home here at 7,000 feet in September deer hunting also.

I like Cabela's Outfitter and Advantage Max 1 depending on the terrain.  In the PNW forests good old Woodland  still works great.

[kadbow]

Anything to break up your outline should work.  It can be 80 or 18.  I've been snowed on every month of the year here in CO.

[wooddamon1]

Agreed.It gets cold at night sometimes.Use something earth-toned and warm.Camo patterns?Personal preference for sure.They all look cool to me...

Depends on the wool. There are different weights, different ways its woven and different wools depending on the sheep and/or where they live. Then how the wool is processed. This all determines how it performs and how it feels either next to the skin or draped on the body.  

Some wools are very good at keeping you from over heating while being pretty good at keeping you warm. Some garments are made with summer temps in mind. Soft and thin. Very light.

Layers my friend. You can layer wools too.

What i have foumd wrks well is to mix and match patterns. After a few years chasing elk in Montana my partners and I have settled on something darker on the bottom and lighter on top. If you look at elk that is the way their fur is. Dark legs and light bodies and in the moutain shadows they can disapear. I wear predator fall brown on top and a darker pattern pants. As someone else said lurk in the shadows. If you get caught out in the open you are busted no matter what camo you are wearing. Whatever you decide make sure to layer b/c of the temp difference.  The last time I hunted elk it would be 20 in the mornimg and 65 to 70 by lunch time. Good luck!

Either will work IMO but I think Natural Gear is great as well.

[PAPA BEAR]

the green deception works everywhere and its all i will buy.nothing and i mean "nothing" works as well as predator imo.

Predator deception brown and green for early season. Animals look right past you.  Throw in a deception camo jacket and a plaid wool shirt or two in matching colors and your decked out for early season.  Don't be afraid to mix brown bottoms with green tops if the terrain calls for it.
