I usally wear what's in season. Depending on the time of the year and what kind of woods I'm hunting in. Shades of greens, browns, blacks, greys, reds, oranges, even yellows, when fall hits and the leaves change. The main thing is to do just what you have done, blend in, break up your silloute, something at your back so you don't stand out like a sore thumb. Course I have been caught out in the open before by a couple of deer and just froze there, kinda hunched over and the wind was right. Even though my knee was shake'n a hundred mile an hour, along with my heart, they never paid no mind to me. I had on charcoal grey trousers and a forest green shirt and a brown fedora. I like to wear "casual" clothing when hunting, I beleive they are a lot more comfortable, to me any way. I'm not all that big on commercial camo.
As far as being dressed like you are, we use to wear our 18th century clothing,(French & Indian War period), for hunting and trekking in the woods, or canoe floats down the rivers. people would freak out when they saw us. You should see how they acted when they saw some of the "Naytives" of the time period, you talk about leaving the scene in a hurry, man it was a hoot. Some folks would walk up and ask what we were doing and what we were. We would start out mess'n with them and then come clean. But you do get some looks, I'll tell ya that. Run into a game warden one time and he was a bit speechless at first, that he took a wrong turn some where and winded up in the twilight zone LOL!!!
