As a Floridian it is mighty green when bow season opens. I have hunted the last 2 years in my ASAT leafy suit. I think this does well but I am thinking of just going back to my Digital woodland this year.  I know we are trying to break up our human form I am just wondering which or what type would do it best.

I mix it up. I have a little of everything. I seem to use Predator the most, but I like Lost camo as well. Both seem to work well in my area.

Early season it's anything I have that's cotton so for me it's old VN tiger stripe or USGI Woodland.

FL has such varied terrain.  I generally wear a mix of different colors and patterns to break up my shape.  I'll even wear pieces of non-hunting clothing.  Being "matchy" is for humans own fashion sake and not for the animals.  I for one cant wait to try an ASAT suit this fall season, for once a pattern that actually has a real logic to it.  As far as the mainstream brands, up here in N FL the Real Tree patterns with a lot of green and light brown seem to blend well, and Mossy Oaks standard print isnt bad for woods what have more shade, in sunnier areas the Mossy Oak seems a bit gray/black dominant and makes you look like dark blob from far away.  Thats why I like to wear lighter and darker tones together.  I'll also make my top half a different shade than my bottom half to break up my shape.  I get close to critters fairly often.  Its having a clear shot that is the biggest challenge.

I am primarily a tree stand hunter in the south and think Kuiu Vias is hard to beat in the tree. ASAT is good too and very similar but like to support Jason and think it is a fantastic product. When it gets really cold (rare here) I have some old style browning full curl wool that I throw over the KUIU.

Deer have migrated into the suburbs out of the woods. I favor the Weber grill cover.

Plaid in red, green, or gray and black. I often wear a dark gray flannel shirt with some type of camo pants. As mentioned already I buy what has the biggest sale on it after the season.

I'd go with the same. At least the shirt.
Maybe something different for the pants if you really wanna break yourself up.

While I like Predator and think it looks great, I also think that it's just cause it has nice colors, shapes, etc.  As far a as the most effective its just about any ghillie pattern and secondly - ASAT.  Looting at trying an ASAT Leafy Suit to combine the effects.

Too me it's more about fit and comfort. Camo choice is secondary. I've been acquiring as much Kuiu as my budget will allow because it's by far the best fitting, and incredibly well made clothing. I also own Cabelas wooltimate in their outfitter camo because it's warm! Several of my friends are Mossy Oak pro-staffers and always make fun of my Kuiu. I could care less, it fits so well!

There have been so many new patterns come out in the past few years, but I always liked the Vietnam patter for elk hunting in the timber.  Don't see it much anymore.

Predator green early then switch to the Predator brown and some wool late.

Going to try that Weber grill cover off my deck. That was funny stuff there!
